Biography
My area of research is the study of the molecular genetics and mechanisms in hereditary neurological disease. In my research I apply a multidisciplinary approach to identify the genes, mutations and molecular mechanisms responsible for the inherited paroxysmal neurological diseases (channelopathies). This involves clinical identification of patients, gene scanning, linkage studies, mutation analysis, site directed mutagenesis and electrophysiological, and pharmacological studies of neuronal ion channels.
