معرفی
Tamas Horvath is a Professor of Biomedical Research and holds the Jean and David W. Wallace endowed chair in the Section of Comparative Medicine at Yale School of Medicine. Since 2014, he has been a Hans Fischer Senior Fellow at the TUM Institute for Advanced Study (TUM-IAS), leading the Focus Group on 'Brain Temperature Control of Metabolic Diseases.' His research focuses on hypothalamic circuits regulating energy metabolism and metabolic disorders such as obesity and neurodegeneration.
Horvath earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Veterinary Sciences Budapest (1992) and a PhD in Neurobiology from the University of Szeged (2000). He completed postdoctoral training at Yale University (1992–1994). He founded Yale’s Program in Integrative Cell Signaling and Neurobiology of Metabolism in 2009.
- Research Highlights: Peripheral hormone-CNS interactions, hypothalamic circuit plasticity, ghrelin and leptin signaling, neuroprotective mechanisms in metabolic diseases.
- Awards: NIH Director’s Pioneer Award (2010), Ernst Oppenheimer Award (2012), Honorary Doctorate from Szent Istvan University (2013).
- Academic Achievements: Over 20 years of pioneering work on neuroendocrine regulation, with high-impact publications in Cell, Nature, and Nature Neuroscience.
His work bridges neurobiology and metabolic medicine, addressing how neuronal circuits integrate metabolic signals to maintain homeostasis and influence disease progression.
