Research

From Genes to Behavior: Ron Lab

We use molecular biology, biochemistry, and electrophysiology, in parallel with behavioral models, to study how scaffolding proteins and kinases regulate neuronal function and gene expression. We also study how these normal processes are altered upon exposure to alcohol and drugs of abuse, and how these changes lead to the development or the prevention of addiction.
