Robert T. Dirksen, PhD
The Dirksen laboratory focuses on unraveling the molecular details that determine normal ion channel function and regulation and how defects in these channels lead to human disease. A particular focus of the group is studying the structure and function of Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane and sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum together with the consequences of these important signals for cell function.
Part of The Investigator's Annexe program.
