Research Assistant and Laboratory Manager

Qiansheng uses electrophysiological and molecular tools to study the modulation of Kv channels by general anesthetics and novel neuroactive compounds.

Tanziyah Muqeem, BS, MD/PhD
 Graduate Student

Tanziyah uses innovative physiological approaches (whole spinal cord electrophysiology and optogenetics) to study the role of the Kv3.4 channel in nociception.

Elaine Yang, BS, MD/PhD 
Graduate Student

Elaine uses electrophysiological, biochemical and computational approaches to study the modulation of voltage-gated sodium channels by propofol.

Lianteng Zhi, PhD
Postdoctoral Researcher

Lianteng uses mutational analysis and electrophysiology to study novel modulatory domains of Kv channels and the mode of action of novel neuroactive compounds. He is also expanding his interest to study pain mechanisms.
