Research Interest

We are currently actively engaged in defining the role of GABA and GABA receptor subtypes in the kidney utilising a state-of-the art techniques that can assess real-time functional changes such as patch-clamp electrophysiology and an intact-kidney slice model combined with biochemical techniques such as SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting.
