  • I am interested in investigating the mechanisms of ion transport across the plasma membranes of living cells. We focus on understanding the molecular defects that cause diseases such as cystic fibrosis. We employ electrophysiological, imaging and biochemical techniques to better understand the root cause of theses conditions.
