About the Project Our group combines structural and biophysical approaches to unravel the molecular principles underlying membrane transport and excitability. We seek to obtain a mechanistic understanding of how ion channels and lipid scramblases function in health and disease and to develop novel, effective, and safe therapeutics. Work from our group has revealed electrostatic and hydrophobic gating (eLife 2018, Nat. commun. 2021a) and the associated kinetic mechanism (Nat.
