LAB CALENDAR
Welcome to the membrane transport lab!
We study the biology of ion and lipid flip-flop across cell membranes in the nervous system and beyond. We currently focus on ion channels and lipid scramblases, including but not limited to the TMEM16 protein family.
What We’re Pursuing
- How are ions and lipids transported through cell membranes?
- What are the biological functions of ion and lipid transport in health and disease?
- How can we precisely target ion and lipid transport to treat diseases?
What We’ve Discovered
Our Techniques and Approaches
- in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology
- in vitro and in vivo optical imaging
- Mouse models
- Behavioral physiology
- Pharmacology
- Biochemistry and biophysics
