Thomas Südhof，神经生物学家，斯坦福大学冠名（Avram Goldstein）教授，霍华德-休斯医学研究所（HHMI）研究员，2013年度诺贝尔生理学与医学奖得主，2013年度拉斯克奖（Lasker Award）得主，及2010年度卡弗里奖（Kavli Prize）得主，研究方向为突触在发育和成年大脑中的形成和功能。

Dr. Thomas Südhof is the Avram Goldstein Professor in the School of Medicine at Stanford University, and HHMI investigator. Dr. Südhof won numerous prestigious awards including Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (2013), Albert Lasker Award (2013) and Kavli Prize (2010). Dr. Südhof is interested in how synapses form and function in the developing and adult brain. His work focuses on the role of synaptic cell-adhesion molecules in establishing synapses and shaping their properties, on pre- and postsynaptic mechanisms of membrane traffic, and on impairments in synapse formation and synaptic function in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. To address these questions, Südhof's laboratory employs a spectrum of approaches ranging from biophysical studies and physiological and behavioral investigations of mutant mice to analyses of human neurons.
