Ana Laura López-Serrano

Ana Laura López-Serrano studies ion channels, which are proteins that control the flow of charged particles across cell membranes and are essential for processes like heartbeat regulation and cell signaling. Her work examines how these channels are regulated by receptors, lipids, and drugs, with applications ranging from cardiac electrical activity to cancer cell behavior. Prospective students would engage with electrophysiology (the study of electrical signals in cells) and molecular pharmacology methods.

Publication output has been modest but has grown somewhat steadier in recent years, rising from sporadic single-paper years earlier in the decade to about two papers per year from 2023 onward.
