Overview

My current research is focused on human glutamate receptor (NMDAR) mutations associated with neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. We are utilizing a multidisciplinary approach that combines clinical experience, training in electrophysiology, and understanding of neurophysiology to translate basic research involving human glutamate receptor mutations toward therapeutic use.
