Postdoctoral Scholar - Research Associate
Core
Investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms of sensory transduction, specifically proton-selective ion channels (OTOPs) in taste and other physiological systems.
Role type
Postdoctoral Research Associate (Neurobiology)
Builds
Research findings on ion channel structure-function, physiological contributions, and potential modulators.
