Transporter Uptake Assays
Quantitative uptake and release assays are used to measure dopamine transporter function, pharmacological response, and regulatory shifts after cellular perturbation.
Techniques
Techniques
The lab integrates transporter pharmacology, cellular assays, imaging, behavioral neuroscience, and disease-model workflows.
Brain Slice Pharmacology
Acute and ex vivo preparations help connect molecular transporter regulation with tissue-level dopaminergic signaling.
Confocal and Cellular Imaging
Microscopy workflows support analysis of transporter localization, trafficking, and protein interaction patterns.
Behavioral Neuroscience
Rodent behavioral assays examine motor function, reward-related behavior, and disease-relevant phenotypes.
Microbiome and Gut-Brain Models
Microbiota-focused interventions are paired with neurochemical and behavioral readouts in Parkinsonian models.
Biochemistry and Protein Networks
Immunoblotting, co-immunoprecipitation, and interaction assays map regulatory complexes around monoamine transporters.
