Solomon Halbert Snyder (born December 26, 1938) is an American neuroscientist who has made wide-ranging contributions to neuropharmacology and neurochemistry. He studied at Georgetown University, and has conducted the majority of his research at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Solomon H. Snyder is a renowned neuroscientist who studies cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurotransmission, second messengers, and drug action. He has made groundbreaking discoveries on gasotransmitters, D-serine, Huntington's Disease, and inositol phosphates.
We announce the retirement of our colleague and friend, world renowned neuroscientist Solomon Snyder, distinguished professor emeritus of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Sol officially retired in August, after more than 55 years of service to the Johns Hopkins community.
Solomon H. Snyder MD, DSc, DPhil (Hon Causa) Professor of Neuroscience Emeritus. “My lab tries to understand how sensory experience shapes cortical circuitry and function.” Alfredo Kirkwood PhD Professor of Neuroscience. “My lab investigates how the insect brain receives, interprets, and responds to odors.”
Snyder identified receptors for opiates and neurotransmitters and elucidated mechanisms of drug action. He characterized messenger systems including IP3 receptors and inositol pyrophosphates, and identified novel neurotransmitters including nitric oxide, carbon monoxide and D-serine.
