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.
