Research Interests
We are interested in the role of non-neuronal cells in contributing to brain damage caused by drugs, disease and injury. We are also interested in the physiological and neurochemical roles played serotonin as determined through studies with a knockout mouse lacking brain serotonin (i.e., TPH2 knockout).
Disease/Disorder
Traumatic brain injury, parkinson's disease, depression and OCD.
Species
Mice, brain tissue and bacteria.
Methods
Neurochemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, transgenic and knockout mouse models of CNS diseases.
