Mohamed Trebak, PhD

Summary

I am an ion channel physiologist with long term interests in basic ion channel regulation and activation and the contributions of altered channel function to disease. I have been funded all my career by NHLBI, NIA and NIEHS and have developed strong interests in the contribution of ion channel dysfunction to cellular, molecular and metabolic remodeling in vascular proliferative diseases and lung obstructive diseases. Nevertheless, I have consistently maintained an interest in the nascent and exciting field of "ion channels and cancer". I have consistently had one postdoc (sometimes two) working on ion channel dysregulation in breast and colon cancer and glioblastomas and we have published several influential papers on the subject.
