Research:
Multiparametric investigation of mechanism of activation in mechanosensitive ion channels
The focus of my research is on developing and testing instrumentation for studying mechanism of activation in mechanosensitive ion channels. This is achieved by combining an atomic force microscope (AFM) with optical microscopy and electrophysiology (whole cell patch clamp) using a silicon/silicon dioxide based microchip. HaCaT cells are used as a model for testing the apparatus.
