Thomas Christian Südhof ( German pronunciation: [ˈtoːmas ˈzyːtˌhoːf] ⓘ; born December 22, 1955), ForMemRS, is a German-American biochemist known for his study of synaptic transmission.
Thomas Südhof’s laboratory studies how synapses form in the brain and how their properties are specified, which together organize neural circuits. Moreover, the Südhof laboratory examines how synapses become dysfunctional in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders to pave the way for better therapies.
