Hunter College Biologist Marie Filbin Identifies Mechanism That Blocks All Inhibitors Of Nerve Regeneration; Breakthrough Reported In Neuron Magazine

s, is to test it in vivo after spinal cord injury. This is not Filbin's first appearance in Neuron. In September 1994, she co-authored an article in this prestigious monthly on another startling discovery: MAG's ability to inhibit the regeneration of nerve cells. She also found that applying MAG antibodies to the affected cells had the reverse effect and actually fostered nerve regeneration.

Marie T. Filbin, a resident of Manhattan's Upper West Side, has been on the faculty of Hunter College's Department of Biological Sciences since 1990. Named a CUNY Distinguished Professor last year, she is also a faculty member of CUNY's Institute for Biomolecular Structure and Function, a national center for gene research based at Hunter.

Filbin, who teaches both graduate and undergraduate courses, received more than $670,000 in research grants in the past fiscal year. Her primary funders were the National Institutes for Health/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society and The American Heart Association, which awarded the grant through its "Established Scientist Award." Born in the town of Lurgan just outside Belfast in Northern Ireland, she received her B.S. in biochemistry in 1978 and her Ph.D. just four years later, both from the University of Bath. Before settling in New York, she conducted postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins University.
