• Research: Dr. Musgrave's principle research interest is in how nerve activity is controlled at the biochemical level. In particular, the signal transduction pathways by which receptors control neuronal activity are incompletely understood. His research focuses on pathways that are important in controlling blood pressure. He is also investigating how drugs may protect nerve cells from the damage produced by stroke and Alzheimer's disease. These studies may ultimately improve treatment of high blood pressure and stroke.
