Susana Neves PhD is an Assistant Professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in the Department of Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics and the Systems Biology Center New York. Her current research interests are divided into four areas, but the unified theme is to decipher the interplay between phosphodiesterases (PDEs) and synaptic responsiveness:

• What are the physiological consequences of PDE regulation of receptor trafficking?
• How does PDE regulation alter synaptic responsiveness?
• How does the interplay of multiple PDE activities affect receptor trafficking and influence membrane excitability and synaptic responsiveness?
• Can the spatial regulation of receptor trafficking by PDEs affect synaptic responsiveness?
