Primary fields of research
My research is focused on the impact of mutations, molecular regulatory mechanisms and accessory subunits on the function of ion channel complexes.
My research aims at understanding mechanisms leading to ion channel diseases. To this end, I study the function of ion channels in the cellular context, i.e. I address (i) how these proteins work, (ii) how they exert their physiological role at the correct place with the right interaction partners, (iii) how they are regulated, and (iv) how they can be (pharmacologically) manipulated.
- Structure/function analysis of voltage-gated potassium channels
- Molecular basis of channelopathies
- Elucidation of protein-protein interactions within macromolecular channel protein complexes
