Summary

Ion channel mutations play an increasingly recognised role in Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. This project will apply inverse computational methods to infer ion channel dysfunction from time series analysis of electrophysiological recordings. The link between anomalous electrical activity in the brain and channelopathies that will be established by this studentship will identify new therapeutic targets for neurological disease.
