Glutamate receptor trafficking in Lrrk2 mouse model
My current research is centered on investigating the molecular mechanisms that underlie synaptic receptor trafficking in the striatum of healthy and Lrrk2 G2019S mutant mice. I am using a combination of molecular biology tools, imaging techniques, electrophysiology, and optogenetic approach to gain mechanistical insights into how Lrrk2 modulates receptor trafficking and synaptic plasticity at the cortico-striatal synapse.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
