Crina received her PhD in Physiology and Biophysics from Karl Magleby's lab at University of Miami. She did her postdoctoral work with Christopher Miller at Brandeis University. She established her research lab at University of California, Davis in 2005, before moving to Weill Cornell Medical School, New York, as part of the Anesthesiology, Physiology and Biophysics, and Biochemistry departments.

David completed his PhD in Paul Selvin's lab at UIUC on the Shaker Kv channel, and is now studying KcsA and MthK channels. Using structural methods and single channel recordings, he is investigating the gating properties of MthK that vary with pH, voltage, and calcium concentration. David's work also includes how pore blockers, such as TBA, help to dissect the gating behavior of these channels. [Pubmed Link] |

Jason received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin Madison in the laboratory of George Phillips and conducted a postdoc at the Center for Eukaryotic Structural Genomics. He is currently pursuing crystallographic studies to help characterize gating mechanisms in several potassium channels.

Sourabh completed his Masters in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, India, and his PhD in Tom Sakmar's lab at the Rockefeller University, New York, working on GPCRs. His current interest is in studying modulation of ligand gated channels in sensory signal transduction using a combination of electrophysiology, fluorescence spectroscopy and electron microscopy.

Dorothy completed her PhD in the laboratory of John F. Hunt at Columbia University in New York City. She utilized structural biology, enzymology, and various biophysical techniques to probe the molecular mechanism and thermodynamic properties of the bacterial protein translocation ATPase SecA. She is now exploring the ins and outs of the KcsA channel. [Pubmed Link]
