Welcome to the Zukin Laboratory Homepage
There are four major lines of ongoing
research in the Zukin lab. First, we are
studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate the trafficking of
N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptors (NMDA receptors) to and from the
synapse Second, we are studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms that
underlie the neuronal death associated with stroke and epilepsy. A third area of interest is that of estrogen
neuroprotection in animal models of stroke, including global ischemia. A fourth area of interest is that of RNA
trafficking and local protein synthesis in Fragile X.
