Researchers: Dr Linlin Ma (Principal investigator)

Brief description This project will identify novel modulators of voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels, a type of sodium-conducting integral membrane proteins, which play a central role in neuronal, muscular, and cardiac function. These modulators will be characterized in order to understand how they modify channel function and to aid their development as analgesics for the treatment of chronic pain.
