Expertise
Cardiovascular physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, with particular emphasis on diabetes and heart failure.
Research Interests/ Scholarship
My laboratory focuses on the cellular mechanisms contributing to development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (i.e., heart disease with diabetes). We are investigating the cellular signaling pathways which contribute to abnormal heart function and impaired insulin signaling.

Expertise
Neurobiology of drugs of abuse, including anabolic steroid abuse; expertise on validity of supplements as well as other modalities advertised to laypersons as being capable of enhancing health, longevity, libido, etc.
Research Interests/ Scholarship
My expertise in the area of drug abuse and drug mechanisms of action comes from my research, and my knowledge of the validity of purported 'life enhancing compounds/modalities' that are fed to the general public each year comes from books I have written. I was also a post-doctoral fellow in pharmacology in the Dept. of Pharmacology at Mt. Sinai Med. Ctr in Manhattan from 1990-1991, and a post-doctoral fellow in pharmacology in the Dept. of Pharmacology and Neuroscience at Albany Medical College from 1991-1993.

Expertise
Neurophysiology and neuropharmacology of the brain; brain development; psychopharmacology; drugs of abuse; limbic system; dopamine and serotonin systems of the brain; the adolescent brain.
Research Interests/ Scholarship
The effects of prenatal protein malnutrition on brain development, particularly to limbic system; effects of drugs of abuse such as morphine, methamphetamine, MDMA and LSD on the brain dopamine and serotonin systems; the prefrontal cortex of the adolescent brain compared to the adult brain.
