Ion Channels involved in pain, mechanosensation and sensory transduction

 

 

Patrick Delmas is interested in sensory neurons that translate thermal, chemical, and mechanical stimuli. His goal is to understand the molecular basis of somatosensation – the process whereby we experience touch and pain – with an emphasis on identifying molecules that regulate electrogenesis of sensory neurons and detect environmental stimuli. The research conducted in his lab also focuses on characterizing the function of the enteric nervous system in both gastroenterological and neurological disorders.
