My work focuses on the molecular mechanisms of potassium channels involved in channelopathies. My approaches are cellular electrophysiology, directed mutagenesis and mathematical models of the currents generated by ion channels, all of which help to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the electrical activity of ion channels. Establishing a structure/function relatioships in ion channels will potentially lead to the discovery of new therapeutic targets for cardiac rhythm disorders
