My research program uses high-throughput automated patch-clamp electrophysiology to assess the function of genetic variants found in ion channels expressed in the heart and brain. The focus of my current research is to provide functional evidence for variant reclassification in long QT syndromes and epilepsy.

Through my research, I aim to establish the threshold for determining normal and abnormal function for a range of potassium and sodium channels that are important for regulating the r...

My current research focuses on developing high-throughput functional genomics assays to determine biological threshold that a variant can be classified as functionally abnormal and improve risk stratification for sudden cardiac arrest in individual that have long QT syndrome.
