Professor Stephen Tucker

Stephen’s research is focussed on understanding the intimate relationship between ion channel structure and function. The objectives are to understand how and why ion channels do what they do i.e. to understand their molecular mechanism of operation at an atomic level as well as understanding their role in physiology and disease.
