My general interest is to understand metabolic influence on neuronal activity and its contribution to development of disease. ATP sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are of special interest, because their open probability directly depends on the metabolic state of a cell. KATP channels are closed at high ATP to ADP ratios and open in response to decreased ATP and increased ADP levels. Hence, few projects have been initiated as follows:

  • Effect of leptin on ATP sensitive potassium channel (KATP) and Kv2.1 channel trafficking in pancreatic beta cells and hypothalamic neurons
  • To discover the role of surface and mitochondrial KATP channels in dopaminergic neurodegeneration
  • The role of oxidative DNA damage and repair in striatal neurodegeneration (In collaboration with Dr. Marcus Calkins in the Graduate Institute of Clinical Medicine)
