My PhD was entitled 'Presynaptic action potential modulation in a neurological channelopathy' and involved using a novel high resolution microscopy technique termed Hopping Probe Ion Conductance Microscopy or HPICM to demonstrate
1. The first reported channel recordings from submicrometer sized presynaptic boutons in hippocampal neuronal culture
2. The effect of Kv1.1 on action potential waveform and analog-digital facilitation in the channelopathy Episodic Ataxia Type 1.
My postdoctoral research is now focussing on human epilepsy and in particular the use of
1. MEG and the development of novel room temperature OPM sensors for functional imaging of epileptic activity
2. Intracranial EEG (involving stimulation) and single unit recording to further understand epileptogenesis and cognition in epilepsy
3. Use of ex vivo human tissue for genetic analysis and the role of calcium dynamics in the epileptic brain
