Transitional postdoc in the lab of Ehud Isacoff to finish off some projects from my PhD research

My current research utilizes high resolution fluorescence microscopy to understand protein-protein interactions in important signaling proteins located in the plasma membrane of cells. Specifically, I can determine the stoichiometry of homomeric and heteromeric protein complexes (e.g. ion channels and G-protein-coupled receptors) and stable interactions with other accessory proteins (e.g. other membrane proteins, trafficking proteins, soluble signaling proteins). These experiments allow for detailed mechanistic elucidation of protein function and interaction, which underlie normal physiological, as well as pathological, signaling in all cells of the body.

Memory, hibernation and circadian rhythm research in the labs of Drs. John Horowitz and Barbara Horwitz. I was a volunteer student researcher until I graduated and continued to volunteer full time until graduate school.
