John Tuthill, PhD, assistant professor in Physiology and Biophysics, was named in the 2020 class of NYSCF – Robertson Investigators by the New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF). The NYSCF Investigator Program fosters and encourages promising early career scientists whose cutting-edge research holds the potential to accelerate treatments and cures. 

Tuthill’s research focuses on proprioception, or the sense of where the body is in space. He aims to discover the fundamental principles of the nervous system and help treat patients without proprioception and those with chronic pain.
