معرفی
Timothy A. Ryan is a Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics and a Professor of Biochemistry in Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medical College. His research focuses on synaptic function, neuronal metabolism, and mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's, with an emphasis on calcium signaling, synaptic vesicle trafficking, and energy dynamics.

Ryan’s work explores the interplay between synaptic activity and metabolic demands, particularly in conditions like Parkinson’s disease. His studies investigate how organelles such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum regulate synaptic efficiency and resilience.
Recent publications highlight his focus on ATP monitoring, calcium signaling, and lipid metabolism in synaptic health. Key collaborations include researchers like Mukesh Kumar and Hugh C. Hemmings. Funding sources include the National Institute of Neurological Disorders & Stroke (NINDS) and SPARK NS, Inc.
