My lab is currently pursuing reserach in 1) the role of ER Ca2+ and the regulatory protein IRBIT in pancreatic beta cell function, 2) Subtype- and beta-subunit-specific inhibitors of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, and 3) the mechanisms by which upregulation of the ERG1A K+ channel drives skeletal muscle atrophy.
