Description of Research Expertise

217 Dr. Molinoff is an expert on the structure and function of cell membrane receptors involved in signal transduction. His early research focused on the receptor for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, but he has published extensively on other important receptor molecules that respond to amino acids or to biogenic amines such as dopamine. Much of this research has had significant clinical relevance for understanding and treating diseases ranging from heart failure to depression, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.
