Potential Rotation Projects

1. Mapping glucose transporter ligand binding sites.
2. Mapping GLUT1 intramolecular contacts.
3. How does cell shape regulate glucose transport?
4. Using transporter chimeras to map specificity and functional domains.
5. Development of a transwell model for blood brain barrier function.
6. Site directed GLUT1 mutagenesis to test specific hypotheses for GLUT1 function.
