Major Research Interests, New RecIPES

Our research goal is to determine the molecular mechanism and biophysical properties of ion channel modulation, neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. We'd fundamentally like to examine the functional significance of membrane biology in various neuronal diseases like epilepsy, pain, psychiatric disorders, channelopathies and etc.
ㆍNeuronal disorders : Examinations on functional significance of membrane biology in various neuronal disorders
ㆍReceptor modulation : Metabotropic & ionotropic receptor modulation of neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission
ㆍIon channels : Mechanism and biophysical properties of ion channels
ㆍPhosphoinositides : Ion channel modulation by membrane lipid (phosphoinositiedes) metabolism
ㆍElectrophysiology : Measurements of voltage change or electric current on a wide variety of scales from ion channels to the brain
ㆍSignal tansduction : Neurotransmission caused by signal transduction (the essential process for communication between two neurons)
