Professor of Neurology · Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital · company speakers →

Michael Moskowitz is a professor of neurology at Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). He trained as an internist at Yale and as a neurologist at Harvard Longwood and has dedicated his 50-year career to translational research. His lab is credited with conceiving and conceptualising the neuropeptide-containing trigeminovascular pathway (TVS) as a migraine treatment target. Along with collaborators, he discovered the sensory innervation to the circle of Willis and its first neuropeptide, inhibition of peptide release as an ergot/triptan mechanism, spreading depression as an upstream trigger for TVS activation, and recently, CSF-containing bony skull channels that appear to convey bidirectional signaling between the brain/meninges/skull bone marrow.
