The Minor Lab at UCSF

Our Research

We run on electricity. Brains, muscles, hearts, and senses all require electrical signals to function properly. Our research aims to understand the basic components of excitable cells that are responsible for generating electrical activity. To this end, we focus on understanding the structure, function, and regulation of ion channels from a high-resolution viewpoint.
