Anthony van den Pol, Ph.D.
Professor of Neurosurgery and Neurobiology
Biographical Sketch
Dr. Anthony van den Pol is a Professor of Neurosurgery. After completing
his graduate education at Yale University, Dr. van den Pol did postdoctoral
work at Oxford, Semmelweis, and Stanford Universities in the areas of neuropharmacology,
neuroanatomy, and neurophysiology. Dr. van den Pol has two overlapping research
interests, related to basic cellular mechanisms and approaches to understanding
the normal and diseased brain, and the treatment of brain disorders. One focus
is on the organization and mechanisms of action of hypothalamic peptides and
amino acid transmitters, using a combination of patch clamp electrophysiology,
ultrastructural cytochemistry, digital imaging, and molecular biology. The
other interest is in neurovirology, including how viruses alter normal function
in the developing and mature brain, and the use of viral vectors to study normal
brain or treat the diseased brain, or utilization of replication-competent
oncolytic viruses to treat brain cancer. Dr. van den Pol's research is supported
by the National Institute of Health.
