  • We’re Hiring - at all levels!
  • Our Research

    We are interested in recruiting individuals with broad interests in ion channel biophysics and biochemistry, and in channel physiology and pathology - from molecules to cells, to animals, to patients. As can be seen from individual research descriptions, lab members are encouraged to explore multiple approaches and to address projects that span multiple levels of biological sophistication.

    We have extensive collaborations both with other academic groups and with industrial partners, utilizing our expertise in electrophysiology, as well as single molecule biophysics and animal physiology. Please contact cnichols@wustl.edu to discuss.
