1.       ノルアドレナリントランスポーターの機能調節機序の解析
神経末端からシナプス間隙に放出されたアミンを特異的に細胞内に取り込む膜蛋白質であるアミントランスポーター(ドーパミントランスポーター、ノルアドレナリントランスポーター、セロトニントランスポーター)は、神経伝達を終了させる役割を担っており、麻薬や抗うつ薬の標的分子である。ノルアドレナリントランスポーターに関して発現調節やメンブレントラフィック、活性調節等について検討する。

2.       カテコールアミン分泌機序の解析
分泌に関与する受容体やイオンチャネル、細胞内シグナル伝達の機能について検討する。

3.       内分泌かく乱物質、植物エストロゲンの神経系への影響
