Hee Jung Chung, Associate Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience, will speak on the following topic:
“Novel mechanisms by which Kv7 channel and STEP enzyme control seizure susceptibility, and future directions to employ human organoids to test the compounds against these targets to combat epilepsy.”
The lecture is free and open to the public via Zoom at 4:00pm April 14, 2021.
Hee Jung Chung completed her PhD at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as well as a postdoctoral appointment at the University of California, San Francisco. Her research interests focus on neurological and behavioral disorders with an emphasis on the study of epilepsy.
The Chung Lab endeavors to understand how epilepsy mutations affect ion channel function and lead to hyperexcitability in inherited or de novo epilepsy, and identify molecular mechanisms that alter ion channels to cause hyperexcitability in acquired epilepsy. To investigate these two areas, they use interdisciplinary approaches including primary neuronal culture, live and fixed microscopy, biochemistry, electrophysiology, and mouse genetics.
