Carlos Bassetto, PhD

Assistant Professor

Ion channels play key roles in cell homeostasis, such as generating and propagating action potentials, regulating heartbeats, and facilitating processes like nociception, thermosensation, and mechanosensation. The goal of Bassetto laboratory is to understand the physical principles underlying thermosensation, and the voltage-dependence of ion channels, to understand how they work at the molecular level, and to develop new techniques to study them.
