Linda Boland's Lab

Dr. Linda Boland is a neuroscientist whose areas of expertise include the molecular physiology of ion channels and the mechanisms of membrane excitability. Her research focuses on understanding how ion channels - membrane proteins that control electrical signaling in nerve and muscle cells - are modulated by their cellular environment and by structural alterations. Current work in her lab investigates how membrane-derived molecules influence channel activity and how distinct channel types shape action potential firing, with broad implications for learning, memory, and neurological disease.
