Receptors, Channels and Signalling

The transduction and transmission of signals throughout the body depends on the integrated activity of receptors, ion channels and enzymes in the nervous system and other tissues. The major interest of the Receptors, Channels & Signaling group is to understand the mechanisms that operate under normal conditions and during disease. Studies within the group are focused on the mechanisms of sensory transduction and signaling in neuronal and neuroendocrine cells, the regulation of neuronal excitability, and the signaling mechanisms responsible for neurogenesis and neural cell migration. This group comes together under the direction of Professor Stuart Bevan.
