Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcel Goldschen-ohm is an associate professor in neuroscience at UT Austin with 11 years of research experience probing the biophysics of synaptic proteins using electrophysiology, single-molecule fluorescence, optical nanophotonics, and computational methods. His lab uncovered unexpected asymmetry and the critical role of backbone hydrogen bonding in GABAA receptor function—findings that earned Biophysical Journal Paper of the Year and could reshape therapeutic strategies for inhibitory signaling. He also pioneered single-molecule FRET imaging in zero-mode waveguides to observe binding at physiological concentrations and develops widely used scientific software to support these methods. Trained as a physicist (PhD, UW–Madison) and seasoned by interdisciplinary postdoctoral work, he bridges quantitative physics and molecular neuroscience to tackle complex questions about neural inhibition and drug interactions.
