Associate Professor
Stanford Departments and Centers: 
Molecular and Cellular Physiology
Research Interests: 

Our research lab focuses on studying the molecular mechanisms of ion channels and transporters. We use a combination of biophysical methods to probe membrane protein structure and dynamics, together with functional assays and electrophysiological analysis. Ongoing projects in our lab include:
• Examining the molecular mechanisms of chloride/proton transporters
• Developing new small-molecule probes to studying mammalian chloride channels
• Exploring the biophysics and physiology of the mammalian chloride channels
• Using electrophysiology techniques to study the molecular effects of ultrasound neuromodulation on ion channels in brain tissue
