Patient Care Bio
I have 45 years of experience in biophysics and electrophysiology, with an emphasis on ion channels and on signal generation, propagation and transmission. I have been principal investigator on many grants and projects and my laboratory is very well-equipped for these studies. I have worked with many electrophysiological and molecular techniques, and many different biological preparations. I have developed the system for optic nerve recording that will be used in these studies. I have successfully mentored graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, many of whom have progressed to excellent research careers.
