Madan Mohan Kwatra
Associate Professor in Anesthesiology

The focus of this laboratory is on signaling through G protein-coupled receptors and clinical proteomics. These goals are currently being realized through three major projects: (1) Mechanism of signal transduction through substance P receptor in human glioblastomas; (2) Effect of age and diabetes on G protein-coupled receptors in human heart; and (3) Molecular basis of postoperative delirium in the elderly. Our studies use state-of-the-art techniques in protein biochemistry and molecular biology including DNA microarrays. A major goal of project #3 is to identify biomarkers of delirium in plasma using a proteomic approach including analyses by 2D-gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry,SELDI/TOF (protein-chip), and protein microarrays.
