Dr. Siegelbaum is also Professor of Pharmacology in the Center for Neurobiology and Behavior at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He received his A.B. degree in biochemical sciences from Harvard College and his Ph.D. degree from Yale University, where he studied the role of calcium in cardiac electrical activity. He then did postdoctoral research with David Colquhoun at University College London and with Philippe Ascher at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, studying the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ion channel. Dr. Siegelbaum has received the Herbert J. Kayden Award in biomedical science from the New York Academy of Sciences.
