Thedoe Nyunt
About Me
Thedoe is a first-year MD/PhD student from Millburn, New Jersey with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Brown University. Thedoe's undergraduate research, under Dr. Wentian Yang, focused on the molecular mechanisms of articular cartilage degeneration/regeneration, specifically investigating the therapeutic potential of inhibiting protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 signaling. Afterwards, he worked as an NIH postbaccalaureate research fellow at the National Institute on Aging under Dr. Nathan Basisty. There, Thedoe studied intracellular and surface proteomes that are differentially regulated between senescent and non-senescent monocytes and fibroblasts, in order to develop and validate novel biomarkers and targets of aging.
In Mount Sinai's MSTP, Thedoe is exploring clinical interests in physical medicine and rehabilitation and palliative care, as well as research interests in therapeutics development, musculoskeletal regeneration, metabolic disease, and aging. He is also becoming involved in activities such as Dance at Sinai, Student Council, and assisting MSTP admissions. Outside of the program, Thedoe enjoys watching all kinds of performances and walking around the Central Park reservoir.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. NYUNT has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
