We are interested in the molecular function and pharmacology of membrane proteins called ligand-gated ion channels. They regulate electrical excitability in e.g. neuronal tissues by allowing ions to cross cell membranes in response to the binding of neurotransmitters. Their dysfunction is associated with numerous diseases, resulting in an increasing demand for new drugs targeting these fascinating molecules.

WE NEED A HAND,
OR TWO
We are always interested in hearing from highly motivated students and postdocs who may wish to join our team – check out more details here.
We employ a wide range of innovative technologies, such as non-canonical amino acid incorporation, protein splicing and spectroscopic approaches in combination with electrophysiological methods to study ion channels.
