Postdoctoral Training Program in Functional Neurogenomics

Dane Chetkovich, M.D., Ph.D

Professor of Neurology
Department Chair of Neurology
Margaret and John Warner Chair for Neurological Education

Academic Interests: Dr. Chetkovich’s research laboratory is focused on the molecular mechanisms that underlie the targeting of ion channels to synapses and other specialized areas of neurons.  In particular, Dr. Chetkovich’s laboratory a multi-faceted approach, including electrophysiological, biochemical, molecular biology tools and gene therapy regulation of voltage-gated ion channels and how regulation of these channels may play a role in neuropsychiatric diseases such as epilepsy, autism and major depressive disorder.
