Transmembrane Transporters (eBook)

Michael W. Quick received his Ph.D. from Emory University in 1992. Following postdoctoral training at the California Institute of Technology, he joined the faculty at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. His work focuses on the mechanisms by which neurotransmitter transporter function and expression are regulated.
