Research topics: We want to understand the molecular details of electrical signaling in the brain.
Techniques: We study ion channels and transporters – the molecular units responsible for electrical signaling – using electrophysiology, biochemistry, structural biology, and other quantitative approaches to uncover molecular mechanisms.
