Our laboratory is interested in exploring ways of retrovirus mediated genetic treatment of inborn errors in metabolism in the prenatal liver which carries a genetic defect. There are two major areas of focus in our lab:1. Study the regulation of expression of the genes which encode for the ecotropic retroviral receptor, such as to develop more efficient strategies for retrovirus mediated gene transfer into somatic cells. 2. Study the regulation of expression of the viral receptor gene focusing on the function of the protein as an amino acid transporter

My research interests center on motor control and sensorimotor integration in the mammalian spinal cord. Using predominantly electrophysiological methods we study spinal motoneurons, muscle stretch afferents, and their center synapses. We are actively examining how these neurons and synapses respond soon and long after peripheral nerve injury and after manipulations in the functional relations between nerve and muscle.

The overall goal of our research program is to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying calcium homeostasis and the control of contractility in the heart under physiological and pathophysiological conditions
