Researcher in the field of voltage-gated ion channels.

Molecular Ion Channel Physiology

Nerve cells are close to the threshold that makes them fire rapid nervous impulses.

An altered threshold can cause epilepsy or pain. We study a new mechanism by which different substances can restore the threshold by opening or closing of voltage-gated ion channels.

Molecular physiology of voltage-gated ion channels.

Molecular physiology of voltage-gated ion channels

Voltage-gated ion channels are key players in all biological systems where they generate and modulate for instance the nervous impulse and pacemaker activity in the heart and the brain.

Organisation

Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV)

What characterizes the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV) is the wide breadth of research and education. BKV is one of the largest departments at LiU with affiliation mainly to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.

The Division of Cell and Neurobiology (CNB)

The Division of Cell and Neurobiology is a dynamic and innovative environment where we conduct research and teaching on both the structure and function of various cells as well as the nervous system and sensory organs.
