معرفی
Susan Voglmaier, MD, PhD is a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco's School of Medicine, affiliated with the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences. Her laboratory focuses on molecular mechanisms of synaptic function, particularly vesicular neurotransmitter transport and presynaptic development.
Education includes:
- Postdoctoral Studies in Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco
- Residency, School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco
Her research examines membrane trafficking of vesicular neurotransmitter transporters, synaptic vesicle recycling, and molecular determinants of presynaptic function. Current investigations explore how neuromodulators regulate synaptic vesicle composition and neurotransmitter release, with implications for neuropsychiatric disorders. She also contributes to medical education research regarding psychiatry residency training programs.
Her publications primarily focus on synaptic vesicle dynamics, vesicular transporter regulation, and molecular neuroscience, with recent work expanding into psychiatric education methodologies. Recurring themes include presynaptic protein interactions, glutamate/GABA transport mechanisms, and synaptic plasticity.
