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.
