Research Interests

Ion channels: structure and cell biology

Ion channels are important signalling proteins responsible for the movement of ions across the cell membrane. By controlling the ion movement, they play a variety of roles in a wide spectrum of physiological processes, including nerve excitability, beating of the heart, muscle contraction and secretion of hormones. Commensurate with their role, any defects (e.g., through hereditary mutations) in their function or cell biology lead to disease states- examples include epilepsy, cardiac arrhythmia, myotonia, periodic paralysis and diabetes. For this reason, they represent an important class of drug target.

Our aim is to address the following key questions:

  1. How do ion channels sense voltage? And, how does this lead to the opening and closing of channel gates?
  2. How do channels traffic into, and out of, the cell membrane? And, how is trafficking affected in human diseases such as diabetes and cardiac arrhythmias?

To address these questions we use an integrated approach involving techniques in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, electrophysiology and in vivo approaches. By improving our understanding of how ion channels work at the molecular level, how their movement within a cell is regulated and how these functions are disrupted in a disease state, we hope to develop novel therapies (e.g. cell penetrating peptides and SiRNA). Ion channels of current interest include:

  • Kv channels including hERG (cardiac function)
  • KATP channels (insulin secretion)
  • TRPM2 (insulin secretion and beta cell survival)
  • Nav1.7 channels (pain)

Funding: We thank the Wellcome Trust, MRC, British heart Foundation, GSK, and Millipore for supporting our research.
