My research interests are dedicated to understanding basic mechanisms of neuropsychiatric disease and applying that knowledge to develop new treatments. To these ends, I am concentrating on understanding the structure, function and physiological role of the hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel, a voltage gated ion channel that plays a critical role in controlling neuronal excitability in the brain.
