Advisor - Dr. Hee Jung Chung
PhD Candidate
Biography
I am a third year graduate student in Dr. Hee Jung Chung's lab.
Research Interests
Epilepsy, Neuronal Excitability, Homeostatic Plasticity
Research Description
Our goals are to understand how epilepsy mutations affect ion channel function and lead to hyperexcitability in inherited or de novo epilepsy, and identify molecular mechanisms that alter ion channels to cause hyperexcitability in acquired epilepsy.
