Research Interest
Mechanisms of synaptic transmission. In my laboratory we combine electrical, optical, and molecular biology techniques to study mechanisms of synaptic transmission. Recently, we have investigated two topics: 1) the function of transporters that move synaptic transmitter molecules across membranes, and 2) the control of synaptic vesicle exocytosis and endocytosis.
