Dr Vadim Volkov

University Position/Role

 

Senior Research Electrophysiologist, 3 ys BBSRC-funded research post.
My current role is to work on the project about ion channels in yeast. It’s a combination of systems biology, electrophysiology, heterologous expression of ion channels in frog oocytes, molecular biology and modelling. 
The international project is a part of a European Consortium SysMo2 Initiative. The current project is to understand more about ion homeostasis in yeast, an important organism for biotechnology. 
My post is funded by BBSRC.
Other side projects might be included as discussed with Dr Chris Palmer, e.g. ion channels in prostate cancer.
