B.S. Central Michigan University (Neuroscience and Psychology).
RESEARCH/TEACHING INTERESTS
1. Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy2. Cardiac Arrhythmias
3. Cardiac Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
The long-term plan for my laboratory is to determine how K+ channel remodeling and mitochondrial energetics affect cellular excitability, with the hope of uncovering novel therapeutic targets for human disease. Currently, there are three separate but related projects going on in my laboratory: 1) The relationship between cardiac potassium ion channels and the risk of sudden death in epilepsy models; 2) How voltage-gated sodium channel beta subunits interact with potassium channels in heart; and 3) Determine if cardiac cellular energetics are compromised in epilepsy models.
