Hi Jeffrey: I would be interested in such subject. I work (mainly with
theoretical, mathematical and computational methods, although I do also
some electrophysiology) on plasma membrane Ionic Channels and Receptors.
Studies of Molecular Dynamics, Electronic Structure, Physical-Chemical
Properties and Structure-Function Relationships of these proteins are some
of my main interests. I aim at describing these at a molecular, quantum
level. I would also like to study the interactions of these membrane
proteins with neurotransmitters, modulators and drugs. The influence of all
those molecular phenomena on the Biological Neural Networks is also one of
my interests, mainly in relation to CNS diseases like schyzophrenia,
depression and neurodegenerative diseases.
