My general research interest is the structure
function
analysis of ion channels. Ion channels are proteins that sit in the
membrane of all living cells
and that permit the passive but selective flux of inorganic ions
across
biological membranes. Ion channels are involved in many physiological
processes as for example nerve conduction, synaptic transmission, or
epithelial salt transport.
My major focus is on CLC chloride channel and transporter proteins. Recent reviews that cover my favorite research topics can be found here.
