The Department of Pharmacological Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is dedicated to uncovering the fundamental mechanisms of complex physiology and  athophysiology and translating these insights into new therapeutics. We explore biological processes at molecular, cellular, tissue, and organismal levels to understand their functions and identify ways to modulate them for therapeutic purposes. Our research involves analyzing interactions between exogenous and endogenous substances with biological systems to develop new treatments. The Department's mission is to foster discovery and innovation in basic and translational biomedical research, provide advanced training for future scientists and physician-scientists, and serve as a hub for interdisciplinary collaborations, addressing the most challenging problems in biomedical science.

The Rockefeller University

Brian T. Chait was born in Cape Town, South Africa. He received his B. Sc. (1969) and B. Sc. (Hons) (1970) from the University of Cape Town and D.Phil. (1977) in experimental nuclear physics from the University of Oxford. He is currently Camille and Henry Dreyfus Professor at The Rockefeller University in New York City, where he is Head of the Laboratory for Mass Spectrometry and Gaseous Ion Chemistry. Brian has been a leader in the development of novel tools for the mass spectrometric investigation of biological systems, work that is documented in 456 research publications and that has yielded 33 US patents. His laboratory uses mass spectrometry and other analytical techniques to help understand the molecular machinery within cells.
