Biography
Herm Lehman's research is focused on the development and function of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are molecules released by neurons and mediate communication throughout the nervous system; thus, the proper expression and maintenance of neurotransmitter levels is a critical, yet largely unknown, aspect of the metabolism of the neuron. “The best feeling is knowing when you’ve been instrumental in turning somebody’s intellectual light on” Steve Arch, PhD.
Research Interest
identification, characterization, and functional delineation of a novel group of monoxygenases structurally similar to dopamine and tyramine B-hydroxylase characterization of Vitamin C on cellular growth and development analysis of traumatic brain injury on learning and memory mechanism
