Brad S. Rothberg

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America

He is an Associate Professor, Medical Genetics and Molecular Biochemistry at Lewis Katz School of Medicine.

The research in my laboratory is aimed at figuring out how ion channels work at the molecular level. Our strategy to study channel structure and function combines patch-clamp electrophysiology, site-directed mutagenesis, fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and biochemical techniques to deduce a working hypothesis of the molecular architecture of a channel.
