Research Interests
My broader aim is to understand the cellular-molecular mechanisms that underlie nervous system function in health and neurodegenerative disease, and to elucidate pathways for pharmacologically based therapies for disease.To facilitate these aims I seek to discover how intracellular signal transduction mechanisms can modulate the molecular functions of ion exchangers, neurotransmitter receptors, voltage gated ion channels, and metabolite transporters in cellular membranes.
