STRUCTURAL PERSPECTIVE OF ION CHANNELS MODULATION

Ion channels are intricate membrane-embedded molecular machines, which enable cells to communicate with their surroundings by allowing and maintaining crucial ionic flow across the plasma membrane. Diverse activation and regulatory mechanisms render these specialized proteins perfectly engineered for communicating a wide array of incoming signals into precisely orchestrated electrical-cellular responses.

At the Haitin lab, part of the Sackler School of Medicine, we focus on understanding how ion channels structures are funneled into their specialized activities. Specifically, we are interested in the emerging roles of ion channels in shaping the immune response, and in their contribution to facilitated cellular proliferation observed in cancerous transformation. To do so, we use a wide array of cutting-edge approaches, which include structural biology techniques, electrophysiology, fluorescence spectroscopy and high-throughput cancer-related mutant functional screens.

As ion channels are of immense importance for human health, with emerging pivotal roles in cancer biology, our comprehensive efforts to unveil utmost basic mechanisms underlying ion channels activity should provide novel insights into their regulation and may prove beneficial for future development of novel therapeutic strategies.
