I am a molecular electrophysiologist determining structure function relationships in cardiac ion channels and investigating the role of ion channel mutations in the pathogenesis of inherited arrhythmia syndromes
I am a cellular physiologist investigating the role of ion channels, receptors and intracellular signalling systems in the control of hormone secretion from endocrine cells, contraction of cardiac myocytes and to a lesser extent, growth of endometrium can
The primary aim of my research has been to understand how biological ion channels work. All electrical activities in the nervous system, including communication between cells and influences of hormones and drugs on cell function, are regulated by the opening and closing of ion channels. Thus, understanding how these ion channels operate will ultimately help us find the causes of, and possibly cures for, many neurological, muscular and cardiac disorders.
I am a molecular physiologist investigating the structure and function of the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine receptor (GlyR) and GABA type- A receptor (GABAAR) chloride channels. We are interested in understanding how these receptors open and close
I am a reproductive biologist working to define key mechanisms for sperm development and function; and by extension the causes of human male infertility.
I am an applied respiratory physiologist investigating the pathophysiology of upper airway dysfunction in individuals with sleep-disordered breathing and the application of exercise physiology principles to the development of novel rehabilitation methods
