  • 연구실 소개

    약물학 연구실에서는 카테콜아민 신경계를 중심으로 신경계 기능 조절과 관련 질병 매개 신호를 분자생물학, 세포생물학 및 질병 모델을 적용한 연구를 통해 규명하고, 이를 기반으로 신경계 기능 조절과 질병 예방/치료의 약물학적 타겟을 찾는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.

    구체적으로, 대표적 퇴행성 신경질환의 하나인 파킨슨병의 발병 기작과 관련하여 산화성 스트레스와 같은 환경적 요인, alpha-synuclein, LRRK2 돌연변이와 같은 유전적 요인 등을 중심으로 신경계 기능, 생존, 및 행동 변화에 영향을 미치는 신호 연구를 진행하고 있으며, 천연물 유래 신규 물질들을 중심으로 도파민 신경계 기능 조절 및 질병 치료 물질로의 기능 연구를 수행하고 있습니다.
