Development of genetically engineered probes for calcium sensing and manipulation
Calcium levels in cells have critical functions. Moreover, calcium signaling plays a crucial role in the control of neuronal function and plasticity. Consequently, calcium sensing dysfunction can lead to a variety of pathological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or neuromuscular disorders such as Dystonia. Changes in neuronal Ca2+ concentration...

Neuronal calcium sensor proteins as potential therapeutic targets in circadian rhythm and sleep disorders
Sleep health and sleep disorders are major problems. In the US, an estimated 1/3rd of adults and 2/3rds of highschool aged young adults do not get the recommended amount of sleep. Lack of sleep and poor sleep hygiene is associated with a number of health problems. These include obesity, depression, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, specific...
