Career objective: I'm a PhD student at IIBB-CSIC, and I started studying the serotonin receptors. Basically I began my work here setting up a new technique in our lab: GTPgammaS autoradiography. In our lab we use other techniques such as: in situ hybridization, receptor autoradiography with radiolabelled drugs, or receptor binding assays. Furthermore, we use molecular biology techniques applied to the serotonin receptor field.
