Mechanisms by ion channels and transporters mediate transport of ions across cellular membranes
Monday, August 26, 2024
The Chowdhury Lab is interested in understanding how ions and small molecules are transported across the oily cellular membranes. Such processes are not only critical for cellular survival, they underlie the electrical activity of neurons, cardiac myocytes etc. The lab specializes in membrane protein biochemistry and biophysics and uses multi-disciplinary approaches to determine atomic resolution snapshots of protein complexes, mediating these transport processes, at different stages of their function.
Neurocognitive Basis of Parent-Child Interactions and Child Development
Monday, August 26, 2024
Research assistants will have the opportunity to assist with various lab procedures (e.g., collecting data during child lab visits, data management, and video coding of parent–child interactions). Students will also have the opportunity to gain experience in data collection and analysis in fNIRS and MRI experiments.
Neuroendocrine Tumors and Other Rare Cancer Models.
Monday, August 26, 2024
We are developing novel rare cancer models for drug testing and understanding tumor biology. We are recruiting students who would like to do research for the Undergrad Honor's Research course and seeking publication opportunity.
