Researcher in the field of voltage-gated ion channels.

Molecular Ion Channel Physiology

Nerve cells are close to the threshold that makes them fire rapid nervous impulses.

An altered threshold can cause epilepsy or pain. We study a new mechanism by which different substances can restore the threshold by opening or closing of voltage-gated ion channels.
