My passion for electrophysiology began with an undergraduate summer project at 鈥檚 lab, where I studied pH signaling in snail neurons. Dissecting garden snails and handling e-phys apparatus that seemed to have come out of a sci-fi movie set, I loved every minute of it鈥攅ven when a nematode parasite swam across the field of neurons! Outside the lab I enjoy PC games and , although becoming a first-time dad in 2023 seems to devour most of my free time.

I am serving as the laboratory assistant in our group. My expertise lies in molecular biology, and I am dedicated to cultivating teamwork and providing support to the group through my skills and experience. I am driven by the desire to create a positive and collaborative atmosphere where everyone can thrive and develop collectively.
I'm Serena Pozzi, I come from Italy, where I completed both my bachelor's and master鈥檚 degrees in biology at the University of Milano Bicocca. In October 2022, I joined Antonios Pantazis' lab for my PhD project on cardiac electrophysiology. I鈥檓 mainly working on the cardiac sodium channel trying to uncover its role in the development of cardiac arrhythmias. When I鈥檓 not in the lab you can certainly find me reading a book or watching a tennis match.
I am a PhD student exploring the molecular physiology of neuronal voltage-gated calcium channels, with a focus on their roles in neurological and psychiatric diseases. Outside the lab, I am a music geek with a passion for capturing dark, enigmatic places through photography. Whether analyzing complex channel dynamics or framing a moody shot, I bring curiosity to my work.
