Biography

With the help of the Gates Cambridge Trust, I am pursuing a PhD in the Department of Pharmacology. My work is to investigate into an ion channel called Hyperpolarization-activated Cyclic Nucleotide-modulated (HCN) ion channels. Our lab has shown that HCN channel subtype 2 plays a central role in both inflammatory and neuropathic pain. And I am currently working on the molecular mechanism of how this channel is modulated in the hope of finding some chemicals which target on this channel and may have potential therapeutic benefits for those patients who suffer from pain.
