Daniel Minor, PhD
Professor, Cardiovascular Research Institute
Research Interests:
Ion channel structure and pharmacology; toxin resistance mechanisms
Research Summary:
Membrane proteins; potassium channels, calcium channels Summary: Hearts, brains, muscles, and senses require electrical signals to function. We aim to understand the basic cellular components responsible for generating electrical activity. We focus on understanding the structure, function, and regulation of ion channels from a high-resolution viewpoint, understanding how channel mutations cause disease, and on developing new tools for controlling channel function.
