Esther Louise Sabban, Ph.D. is a distinguished Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at New York Medical College's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. She also holds the prestigious Sidney E. Frank Distinguished Professorship in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and is a Professor in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the School of Medicine. Her research spans multiple disciplines within neuroscience and stress physiology, with a particular focus on molecular mechanisms underlying stress-related disorders. Dr. Sabban earned her Ph.D. from New York University and holds an M.S. from Hebrew University. Her educational background provided the foundation for her extensive research career investigating the neurochemical basis of stress responses and their relationship to various disorders. Dr. Sabban's research primarily focuses on elucidating molecular mechanisms of stress-related disorders and developing potential therapies. Her laboratory investigates neurotransmitter regulation, particularly abnormalities in catecholamine neurotransmission involved in stress, cardiovascular disorders, Parkinson's disease, and depression. A significant portion of her work involves studying animal models for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with her lab being the first to provide proof of concept that intranasal delivery of neuropeptide Y or melanocortin 4 receptor antagonists can prevent the development of many PTSD-associated impairments. Her research also explores molecular adaptations of peripheral and central catecholaminergic systems to acute and chronic stress exposure, the influence of estrogen on stress responses, and the role of corticotrophin-releasing hormone family members and components of the renin-angiotensin system in stress regulation. Analysis of Dr. Sabban's recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on understanding stress resilience and susceptibility, with particular attention to sex differences, gut microbiome influences, and novel therapeutic approaches for PTSD. Her work spans multiple disciplines including neuroscience, molecular biology, endocrinology, and behavioral science, with a clear translational focus on developing interventions for stress-related disorders. The research demonstrates increasing sophistication in methodology, incorporating transcriptomics, microbiome analysis, and advanced behavioral testing. Dr. Sabban has made significant contributions to the field through her extensive publication record spanning several decades, with notable work on catecholaminergic systems in stress, neuropeptide Y research, and PTSD mechanisms. Her editorial work on examining mechanisms of PTSD using animal models demonstrates her leadership in the field. Her laboratory conducts preclinical studies on prophylactic, early intervention, and treatment approaches for PTSD using the single prolonged stress animal model. The research investigates molecular, behavioral, and neuroendocrine effects of traumatic stress with and without intranasal delivery of therapeutic agents, focusing on key brain regions involved in stress response including the locus coeruleus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex. This comprehensive approach to understanding stress mechanisms has positioned her laboratory at the forefront of translational stress research.
