In 2022, Dr. Thomas received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA; R15 HL165700) through the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). 他的团队试图开发一种抑制褪黑素生成的关键酶,血清素n -乙酰转移酶(SNAT, AANAT)。 By better understanding SNAT’s function, researchers could potentially develop a drug to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and other disorders in which melatonin levels are abnormally high. 该团队包括太阳城娱乐官网教授Allen Thomas (PI), Michael Moxley, Evan Hill和Surabhi Chandra以及外部合作者教授。 Philip Cole(哈佛),Ryan Wong (UNO)和Mark Wilson (UNL)。 我们应用计算和实验方法,包括药物化学和斑马鱼睡眠模型来发现和优化抑制剂,以克服早期尝试阻断褪黑激素合成的弱点。
