Principal Investigator: Professor David Wyllie

 

Professor Wyllie is Professor of Ion Channel Physiology and Pharmacology at the University of Edinburgh. Professor Wyllie’s lab is studying how glutamate and related ligands interact in the binding site of the NMDA receptor and control its activity. This is essential for an understanding of both normal and abnormal function.
