Teaching

Mainly introductory (1st year) Biochemistry to medical and veterinary students. Main topics:

  • Protein and DNA structures
  • Techniques for the study of proteins
  • Molecular Biology
  • Signalling mechanisms: hormones, transmitters and second messengers
  • Membrane transport and bioenergetics
  • Cellular physiology: ionic basis of electrical signals and molecular motors.

Research

My main interests are on basic Neuroscience: cellular physiology, signalling mechanisms and neurotransmitter receptor function.
