| The
current goals of my research program are to map the routes of
signal transmission responsible for the control of appetite
and reproduction. Our investigations include the identification
of novel neurotransmitters, their site and mode of action, and
the control of their synthesis and release by peripheral signals.
We also are studying the molecular mechanisms in the etiology
of eating disorders(anorexia nervosa ) and obesity-dependent
diabetes and infertility . |
