Honors and Awards
Pioneer fund fellowship from Salk Institute. 2000-2001
CND-Merck Scholar Fellowship. 2002-2003
Research Focus
Current research focus on the mechanisms of GABA and Glutamate receptor-mediated transmission in the basal ganglia. To achieve these goals, I employ whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from brain slices preparations and a combination of immunocytochemical techniques, analysis at the EM level. Our findings help understand the pathophysiology and improve therapeutic strategies for Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases.
