David Julius, PhD, Professor of Physiology, University of California - San Francisco
Ruth K. Broad Foundation Seminar Series on Neurobiology and Disease

Dr. Julius is interested in the molecular biology of sensory transduction and neurotransmitter action in the mammalian nervous system. One of his goals is to understand the molecular basis of somatosensation - the process whereby we experience touch and temperature - with an emphasis on identifying molecules that detect noxious (pain-producing) stimuli. He is also interested in understanding how somatosensation is altered in response to tissue or nerve injury. Dr. Julius is a member of the National Academy of Science and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
