Areas of Research

Neuroscience, Stroke, Synaptic Plasticity
Our lab is interested in how the strength of communication between neurons changes during health and disease. We currently focus on the role of an ion channel, pannexin-1 in these processes. However, we are always open to new and exciting directions. We use state-of-the-art elelctrophysiology, 2 photon imaging, optogenetics and molecular biology to define key cellular pathways activated by stroke or involved in altering synaptic strengths.
