Description:	Dr. Blakely’s research explores the molecular basis for neurotransmitter transporter structure, function and regulation. He uses chimera, site-directed mutagenesis and site-specific chemical modification strategies to explore the topology and quaternary structure of biogenic amine transporters. He is currently evaluating what molecules control the proper localization and activity of transporter proteins using genetic (C.elegans), and molecular biologic methods. He is also evaluating whether human transporter polymorphisms impact the biosynthesis, trafficking and function of transporters and confer increased risk for autonomic, neurologic and mental disorders. More information regarding this important research can be obtained from his website at https://medschool.mc.vanderbilt.edu/blakely NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series
