About
The focus of my research is to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern the regulation of ion channels and cell surface receptors in physiological and pathological states. Our understanding of their function is critical for the development of therapeutic approaches aimed at treating and preventing channelopathies, human diseases related to the dysfunction of ion channels. Experimental approaches that I commonly use to study ion channels include electrophysiology, structural biology, cell biology, biochemistry, and animal models. My research scope is multidisciplinary in nature and I am interesting in understanding from the molecule to the whole animal.
