BECAUSE OF MY CURRENT ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES MY LABORATORY IS
CURRENTLY ON HIATUS
Specific topics of study include:
1) Neurotransmitter transporters, which are
proteins responsible for the uptake of
neurotransmitter from the synaptic cleft;
and which are the sites of action of many
drugs of abuse (cocaine, amphetamine,
ecstacy) and therapeutics (Prozac).
2) The structure and function of brain
acetylcholine receptors, the site of
action of nicotine.
