Challenges

Long term goals:

  • To unravel the functional mechanisms by which transporter proteins translocate neurotransmitters and amino acids across membranes
  • To determine their physiological and pathophysiological roles (e.g., in neurotransmitter recycling, epilepsy, hepatic encephalopathy, neoplasia, pH regulation, insulin secretion)
  • To identify potential novel therapeutic targets
