My research interest focuses on membrane transporters, facilitate the transport of drugs and endogenous compounds across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB). These barriers limit delivery of various pharmacological agents such as anti-cancer, anti-HIV and anti-epileptic drugs into the central nervous system (CNS) by excluding them. Research in my laboratory focuses on answering the following questions:
-
How drug's disposition and distribution is controlled in the CNS
-
What is the role and mechanism of drugs transporters across the BBB and BCSFB
-
How to improve the delivery of drugs that are substrate for these transporters into the CNS
