DIRECTOR, MOUNT SINAI INSTITUTE FOR SYSTEMS BIOMEDICINE, DIRECTOR SYSTEMS BIOLOGY CENTER NEW YORK, PROFESSOR | Pharmacological Sciences

Dr. Iyengar is a Dorothy H. and Lewis Rosenstiel Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics and the Director and Principal Investigator of the NIGMS funded http://sbcny.org/ Systems Biology Center New York. Trained as a biochemist, Dr. Iyengar's research focuses on cell signaling networks with emphasis on heterotrimeric G protein pathways. His laboratory uses a combination of experimental and computational approaches to understand the regulatory and information processing capabilities of cellular signaling networks. Research Interests: Systems pharmacology and systems biology Computational cell biology Cellular signaling networks Spatial modeling of cell signaling G-protein mediated intracellular signaling in neurons Spatiotemporal organization of cellular networks Websites: http://icahn.mssm.edu/research/labs/iyengar-laboratory Iyengar Laboratory http://sbcny.org/ Systems Biology Center New York (SBCNY) In the News: http://www.medpagetoday.com/Endocrinology/Diabetes/42167 GLP-1, TZD Combo May Cut Heart Risk http://icahn.mssm.edu/departments-and-institutes/pharmacology-and-systems-therapeutics/news/big-data-reaps-big-rewards-in-drug-safety Big Data Reaps Big Rewards in Drug Safety http://www.healthcare-informatics.com/news-item/can-big-data-help-increase-drug-safety/ Can 'Big Data' Help Increase Drug Safety? http://icahn.mssm.edu/departments-and-institutes/pharmacology-and-systems-therapeutics/news/mount-sinai-school-of-medicine-bringing-free-courses-online Mount Sinai School of Medicine Bringing Free Courses Online http://icahn.mssm.edu/departments-and-institutes/pharmacology-and-systems-therapeutics/news/mount-sinai-discovers-genetic-framework-to-explain-and-predict-adverse-drug-reactions Mount Sinai Discovers Genetic Framework to Explain and Predict Adverse Drug Reactions Research Topics Addiction, Axonal Growth and Degeneration, Bioinformatics, Cell Adhesion, Cell Biology, Cell Motility, Cell Transformation, Computational Biology, Computer Simulation, Cytoskeleton, Dendritic Cells, Drug Design and Discovery, Hippocampus, Mathematical Modeling of Biomedical Systems, Mathematical and Computational Biology, Membranes, Memory, Nanotechnology, Phosphorylation, Protein Kinases, Protein Phosphatases, Proteomics, Receptors, Signal Transduction, Synaptic Plasticity, Systems Biology, Theoretical Biology, Transcription Factors, cAMP Multi-Disciplinary Training Areas Biophysics and Systems Pharmacology [BSP], Neuroscience [NEU] Education BS, Bombay University MSc, Bombay University MS, University of Houston PhD, University of Houston Fellowship, Baylor College of Medicine Language English
