My background is in cardiology. My recent work has been focused on understanding the alterations in ionic conductances and gene expression in cardiac myocytes, associated with myocardial infarction. I am extending my interests to cellular neurophysiology, studying the vertebrate olfactory pathway as a model system. My research is applying patch clamp and optical methods to investigate voltage and calcium signaling in neurons of the olfactory bulb. The goal is to understand how these signals regulate synaptic transmission during odor information processing. |
