Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Faculty Bio

I am a postdoctoral fellow investigating the regulation and pharmacology of the cardiac ion channel KCNQ1 with the aim of deciphering the biological mechanisms underlying cardiac arrhythmia and proposing improved therapeutic strategies. My research bridges molecular biology, neuroscience, and pharmacology, focusing on uncovering mechanisms that drive ion channel function. Combining patch clamp electrophysiology, voltage clamp fluorometry and ion channel simulations in Python, along with expertise in confocal microscopy and biochemistry, I integrate diverse methodologies to address complex biological questions. Throughout my career, I have been recognized with awards for 3 poster presentations, received 3 competitive fellowships, delivered 6 scientific presentations, and contributed to 14 published works.
