Research InterestAxel Brunger's goal is to understand the molecular mechanism of synaptic neurotransmission. He is particularly interested in the structure, function, and dynamics of key players in the synaptic vesicle fusion machinery. His lab is also working on the mechanism of action of clostridial neurotoxins that target this machinery. A molecular understanding of these complex protein machineries may ultimately lead to new therapeutics to treat human diseases.
