Expertise

Our major research efforts focus on the biogenesis, sorting and regulation of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) using a wide variety of cellular and molecular approaches. AChE is an essential component of the neuromuscular junction and cholinergic synapses in the central and peripheral nervous systems where it is responsible for terminating neurotransmission by rapidly hydrolysing the acetylcholine released.
