Areas of Interest:

Synaptic transmission is triggered when calcium ions enter presynaptic terminals via voltage-gated calcium channels. Calcium influx leads to a series of protein-protein interactions resulting in the release of neurotransmitters from vesicles into the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters can interact with postsynaptic receptors or, by feedback, with presynaptic receptors present on nerve terminals. Our group uses patch clamp electrophysiology to investigate presynaptic mechanisms in synaptic transmission. In particular, we are interested in modulation of presynaptic calcium channels and G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). We are also investigating the molecular determinants in the modulation of ion channels and receptors and in inhibitory synaptic transmission in the mammalian cerebellum, and have extended this work to excitatory transmission in hippocampal brain slices. Our current focus here is on plant derived cannabinoids, which we are investigating using electrophysiological recordings from brain slices. In addition, we investigate ion channel and GPCR modulation in native neurones and recombinant cells.

Research interests:

• Modulation of calcium channels by intracellular antibodies 'intrabodies' (UCB Pharma funded project with Prof Ben Whalley, University of Reading)

• Functional effects of CACHD1 on calcium channels (with Pfizer Neusentis UK)

• SUMOylation of calcium channels (with Dr Helena Cimarosti, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brazil and Prof Sumiko Mochida, Tokyo Medical University, Japan)

• Mechanism of action of synaptic vesicle 2A ligands (with Prof Ben Whalley, University of Reading and Prof Sumiko Mochida, Tokyo Medical University)

• Role of plant cannabinoids in hyperexcitability in the CNS (with Prof Claire Williams and Prof Ben Whalley, University of Reading)

• Modulation of inhibitory neurotransmission in the cerebellum
