Personal profile
Biography
I am a group leader at the Eccles Institute of Neuroscience, JCSMR. I studied medicine in Shiraz University and received my PhD in Physiology from the Adelaide University in 2015. My research has focused on the physiological and pathological role of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) in the mammalian cortex. TRPs comprise a superfamily of nonselective cation channels that are well preserved throughout evolution and across species from yeasts to humans.
Recently, my research identified high expression of TRP Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) in rodent cortical neurons. Currently, I combine in vivo and in vitro electrophysiology, two-photon calcium imaging, and behavioural assays to investigate how TRPA1 modulates sensory processing in rodent cortex across modalities of whisker-touch and vision. We expand this knowledge to understand the role of TRP channels in brain pathologies such as Multiple Sclerosis and Epilepsy.
