Vergara) Ph.D., Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of California, Davis (Advisor: Isaac N. Pessah of School of Vet Med) Teaching Credential, National University, Sacramento, California B.S., Biochemistry, University of California, Davis Transfer Student, American River Community College, Sacramento, California
Research Interest
His laboratory examines skeletal muscle and muscle physiology using electrophysiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, and optics.They are currently working on muscle dysfunction in Huntington's disease and purniergic signaling. With some outstanding collaborators, his research on individual muscle fibers and molecular mechanisms extends to whole animal behavior and the clinic.
