Peterson Lab

Blaise Peterson, Ph.D.

Lab Interest:
Dr. Peterson is interested in understanding how ionic gradients across membranes are associated with disease states such as heart failure and malaria. His group hopes to develop novel therapeutic approaches to treat these diseases by discovering new ways to modulate voltage-gated ion channels with drugs that alter the gating behavior of the channel.

Program Affiliations:
Physiology, Cell and Molecular Biology, and Integrative Biosciences.
