Research:
Macrophages are important cells in the immune system, and catecholamines are important molecules produced by neural and endocrine cells. Recently, it has been determined that immune cells not only take up catecholamines from the environment, but also synthesize these molecules. The focus of my research is to investigate the synthesis, release, and actions of catecholamines in macrophages.
