Professor Paul Kenny is a neuroscientist and the Ward-Coleman Chair of the Nash Family Department of Neuroscience at Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine. He also serves as Director of the Drug Discovery Institute. Dr. Kenny’s research focuses on the neurobiology of addiction, particularly the brain mechanisms underlying compulsive drug use and obesity. His multidisciplinary work combines behavioral paradigms, physiological analysis, and molecular studies to identify critical targets for therapies addressing addiction and obesity-related disorders. Currently, he is investigating signaling cascades in rodent brains that may drive addiction-like behaviors.
