Dr. Ferguson earned his Ph.D in Neuroscience from Vanberbilt University in 2004 and subsequently pursued postdoctoral studies at Yale University. Both of these training experiences focused on specialized membrane trafficking mechanisms that support synaptic transmission between neurons. In 2010, he established his independent laboratory in the Department of Cell Biology at Yale School of Medicine which focuses on the intersection between fundamental cell biology questions and neurological disease mechanisms He currently holds the rank of Associate Professor (tenured) and has a secondary appointment in Neuroscience.
