Eye ConditionsMarie E. Burns
|
Clinical/Research InterestsTrained as a biochemist and electrophysiologist, Marie E. Burns studies the temporal regulation of signal transduction mechanisms in neurons. Much of her work has investigated the deactivation of the G protein cascade in photoreceptor cells of the retina. Her future studies will seek to understand the mechanisms by which different G protein cascades yield signals of varying amplitude and durations. These mechanisms are thought to underlie processes such as learning and memory, and addiction and tolerance. |
