Kristi DeBoeuf studies how proteins linked to Alzheimer's disease, particularly amyloid beta peptides, affect electrical signaling in nerve cells. Much of the work focuses on how these peptides suppress or alter the activity of ion channels (Kv1.1 and Kv1.2, which control the flow of potassium ions) and nicotine-sensitive receptors, and the internal cell-signaling steps (involving calcium and enzymes called kinases) that drive these effects. The research uses laboratory model systems such as frog (Xenopus) egg cells to examine channel and receptor behavior.
