My research interests are focused on the following projects:
- Studies of the role of serotonin system in development of heart and brain using systemic injections of selective compounds.
- Mechanism of action of serotonin receptors in physiological functions and behaviors using technology of antisense RNA and oligodesoxynucleotides.
- Multidisciplinary program investigating the role of activity dependent neurotrophic factors in neuroprotection against the insult of prenatal alcohol exposure in developing brain and in particular serotonin system.
- Investigating the effect of chronic and repeated deprivation of ethanol in dopamine and glutamate receptors using radioligand bindings.
