My laboratory takes a biochemical approach to Pharmacology, Toxicology and Medicinal Chemistry. I study the enzyme systems that biosynthesize and degrade endogenous small molecules such as steroid hormones, cholesterol, bile acids, thyroid hormones, and phenethylamine neurotransmitters. In addition, my lab studies biotransformation of xenobiotics such as medicines, and dietary and environmental compounds. My lab uses specialized computer software to study the Structure Biology of proteins.
