Over the years, Dr. Tuttle’s achievements include research on nerve growth factor dynamics in hypertrophic disease, carbon dioxide transport and chemosensitivity, molecular mechanisms of quantal synaptic transmission, nerve growth factor synthesis by vascular smooth muscle, and trophic regulation of motor neurons. He is also a frequent contributor of articles to developmental biology and neuroscience journals. Dr. Tuttle is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Society for Cell Biology, the Biophysical Society, the Society for Neuroscience and Sigma Xi. He was the recipient of the Research Career Development Award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the Muscular Dystrophy Association Research Award in 1990. Despite his many accolades, what Dr. Tuttle finds the most rewarding aspect were the advancements he and his team would make in the laboratory that were unseen by mankind. The newness and novelty of their findings were unparalleled. G rowing up around scientists, Dr. Jeremy B. Tuttle was inspired by his father, grandfather and uncles to pursue his interest in science.
