LAB 1
Lauren Jones and Namita Varma, two graduate students from Brad Alger's lab, examine fluorescently labeled neurons in a slice of brain tissue on the Department's shared laser scanning confocal microscope in a study of how the regulation of inhibitory synaptic transmission may be disturbed in human epilepsy.

LAB 2
Physiology graduate student Joe Marban performs a combined calcium-imaging and electrophysiological study of cardiac muscle cells in the lab of Gil Wier. Joe's work is revealing how altered Ca2+ signaling contributes to the clinically important issues of cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure and arrhythmias.

LAB 3
Physiology graduate student Dana Yoo and other members of Paul Welling's lab at work on their studies of ion channel expression and trafficking in kidney cells. Their studies are elucidating the molecular basis of kidney failure and providing a rational basis for the development of new therapeutic approaches.
