His past projects include molecular mechanism of glutamatergic synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. To tackle these issues, gene knockout mice and gene transfection using recombinant viral vectors were used. Research projects were also performed with biochemical and electrophysiological techniques (patch-clamp recording, immunohistochemistry, immunoblotting etc). His current research interest is to figure out patho-physiology of inflammatory neurological diseases. These brain symptoms include septic encephalopathy, which is often confronted with an intensive care unit. Recently, our research group has been interested in non-invasive brain imaging such as functional near infra-red spectroscopy and electroencephalography. Utilizing these techniques, we are challenging to find patho-physiological mechanisms of a novel molecular target for therapeutics of neurological symptoms in human brain.
