ABOUT DAVID'S WORK
David Felten is a neuroscientist investigating interactions between the nervous and immune systems, and intervention strategies for neurodegenerative disorders.

Felten’s laboratory has identified direct connections between nerve fibers and cells of the immune system (lymphocytes and macrophages), and is investigating neurotransmitter influences on immune function that may be useful in treating autoimmune disorders, immunosenescence, and states of immunodeficiency.  He and his associates are also examining animal models of Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.  They are exploring protective pharmacological strategies to slow neurodegeneration and enhance neural plasticity.

BIOGRAPHY
Felten is the dean of the Seton Hall University’s School of Graduate Medical Education.  He served previously as executive director of the Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine and as a professor of anatomy and neurobiology at the University of California at Irvine (2001-2003).  He was also the director of the Center for Neuroimmunology at the Loma Linda University’s School of Medicine (1998-2001) and the Kilian J. and Caroline F. Schmitt Professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy at the University of Rochester’s School of Medicine (1993-1998).

Felten earned a B.S. (1969) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an M.D. (1973) and a Ph.D. (1974) from the University of Pennsylvania.

RECENT NEWS
Dr. Felten is currently associate dean of clinical sciences at the University of Medicine and Health Sciences at the North American Administrative Offices in New York, New York.  He is also chair of the Scientific and Medical Advisory Board and past chairman of the board of Clerisy Corp., a biotech corporation in Pittsford, New York.  Dr. Felten previously served as vice president for research and medical director of the Beaumont Research Institute at the Beaumont Health System in Royal Oak, Michigan, and associate dean for research and clinical research professor (neuroscience) of the newly formed Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine in Oakland County, Michigan, from October of 2005 to December of 2013.  He oversaw the establishment of a Core Molecular Laboratory, a BioBank, and expansion of the core infrastructure for the Research Institute, and he worked on a daily basis with physicians and bench scientists to help them investigate key clinical questions through clinical translational research.

Dr. Felten is the recipient of two 10-year MERIT Awards from the National Institute of Health, one from the National Institute on Aging and one from the National Institutes of Mental Health, and many other research grants from both federal and nonfederal sources.  He is the author of over 200 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters, many on links between the nervous system and immune system.  His laboratory has systematically investigated the anatomical and neurotransmitter characteristics of peripheral innervation of organs of the immune system and the effects of the innervation and neurotransmitters on immunocyte activities (proliferation, migration, etc.) on innate and acquired immune responses and on immune-related disorders (autoimmune diseases, viral infections, cancers, and others).  He has given more than 100 addresses and presentations at national and international symposia and scientific meetings representing a wide range of scientific disciplines, including many prestigious named lectureships.  He is the lead author of the highly acclaimed Netter’s Atlas of Neuroscience, 3rd edition (Elsevier, 2016), which received two international awards, one from the British Medical Association in Neurology and the other from the Association of Medical Illustrators.  He also is author of Netter’s Neurosciences Flash Cards, 3rd edition (Elsevier, 2016) and is nearing the completion of Netter’s Neurosciences Coloring Book, a text with hands-on coloring exercises that emphasize neural structure and important organizational points and clinical correlations.

Dr. Felten is a non-executive director on the boards of two biotech companies, RxMM Health Ltd. and Clerisy Corp, Inc., and serves as the chairman of their scientific and medical advisory boards.

关于大卫的工作
大卫-费尔特是一名神经科学家，研究神经和免疫系统之间的相互作用，以及对神经退行性疾病的干预策略。

费尔滕的实验室已经确定了神经纤维和免疫系统细胞（淋巴细胞和巨噬细胞）之间的直接联系，并正在研究神经递质对免疫功能的影响，这些影响可能对治疗自身免疫性疾病、免疫衰老和免疫缺陷状态有用。 他和他的同事们还在研究帕金森病和其他神经退行性疾病的动物模型。 他们正在探索减缓神经退行性和增强神经可塑性的保护性药理策略。

个人简历
Felten是Seton Hall大学医学研究生教育学院的院长。 他曾担任苏珊-塞缪里综合医学中心的执行主任和加州大学欧文分校的解剖学和神经生物学教授（2001-2003）。 他还曾是洛马林达大学医学院神经免疫学中心主任（1998-2001）和罗切斯特大学医学院神经生物学和解剖学系的基里安-J.和卡罗琳-F-施密特教授（1993-1998）。

费尔滕获得了麻省理工学院的学士学位（1969年），以及宾夕法尼亚大学的医学博士（1973年）和博士（1974年）。

近期新闻
费尔滕博士目前是位于纽约州纽约市北美行政办公室的医学和健康科学大学的临床科学副院长。 他也是科学和医学顾问委员会的主席和纽约皮茨福德的生物技术公司Clerisy Corp.的前任董事长。 费尔滕博士曾在2005年10月至2013年12月期间担任密歇根州皇家橡树市博蒙特卫生系统的博蒙特研究所的研究副主席和医学主任，以及密歇根州奥克兰县新成立的奥克兰大学威廉-博蒙特医学院的研究副院长和临床研究教授（神经科学）。 他监督了核心分子实验室、生物库的建立，并扩大了研究所的核心基础设施，他每天与医生和工作台科学家一起工作，帮助他们通过临床转化研究调查关键的临床问题。

费尔滕博士获得了美国国家卫生研究所颁发的两个为期10年的MERIT奖，一个来自国家老龄化研究所，一个来自国家精神卫生研究所，以及其他许多来自联邦和非联邦的研究拨款。 他发表了200多篇同行评议的出版物和书籍章节，其中许多是关于神经系统和免疫系统之间的联系。 他的实验室系统地研究了免疫系统器官外周神经支配的解剖学和神经递质特征，以及神经支配和神经递质对免疫细胞活动（增殖、迁移等）、先天和获得性免疫反应和免疫相关疾病（自身免疫性疾病、病毒感染、癌症等）的影响。 他在国家和国际专题讨论会和科学会议上发表了100多份演讲和报告，代表了广泛的科学学科，包括许多著名的命名演讲。 他是备受赞誉的《Netter's Atlas of Neuroscience》第三版（Elsevier, 2016）的主要作者，该书获得了两个国际奖项，一个是英国医学会神经学奖，另一个是医学插图协会奖。 他还是《Netter's Neurosciences Flash Cards》第3版（Elsevier，2016）的作者，并且即将完成《Netter's Neurosciences Coloring Book》，这是一本强调神经结构和重要组织点及临床相关性的动手涂色练习的文本。

费尔滕博士是两家生物技术公司--RxMM Health Ltd.和Clerisy Corp, Inc.董事会的非执行董事，并担任其科学和医学顾问委员会的主席。
