Research Interests
Neuroimmunology
  • Expression and roles of potassium and chloride channels in activation of immune cells of the Central Nervous System (microglia)
  • New approaches to controlling immune-cell activation
  • Modifying the outcome of stroke and neurotrauma by controlling inflammation in the central nervous system

Ion-channel regulation
  • Biophysical properties and molecular regulation of ion channels in neuroimmune cells (microglia, T lymphocytes)
  • Modulation of ion channels in immune cells by protein kinases and phosphatases
  • Regulation of expression, trafficking and subcellular targeting of potassium channels
  • Signal-transduction complexes and HERG K + channels: Channel regulation, receptor-mediated signaling

Cancer
  • Expression and roles of HERG potassium channels in leukemia and lymphoma cells
