Gerald Fischbach, M.D., is executive vice president for Health and Biomedical Sciences and dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University.
Fischbach, a past-president of the Society of Neuroscience, is a member of the NAS and IOM, and he now serves on several medical and scientific advisory boards.
Fischbach was key in demonstrating that synaptic development relies upon biochemical mechanisms that are broadly similar to those that underlie the action of nerve growth factor and other well-known trophic molecules.
Fischbach has spent much of his career pursuing some of modern physics' most vexing mysteries – whether the universe possesses extra dimensions, for example, or whether matter is ultimately composed of vanishingly small objects called superstrings.
Fischbach said further research is still needed to change the force from a hurdle into a workhorse for those working at the nanoscale.
Fischbach said he was particularly excited about the results because the experiment could lead to evidence for new dimensions in the universe – the ultimate goal of his investigations.
