My research is directed to connexin channel function in heart and brain, with a major interest on the cross-points between calcium signaling and connexins. Our work is focused on a better understanding of connexin hemichannels as a calcium entry and ATP release pathway in health & disease, and on strategies to specifically target hemichannels without affecting gap junctions.

My group is interested in the regulation of calcium selective ion channels on a molecular and cell physiological and pathophysiological level. Our main focus lies on the regulation of STIM and Orai proteins and the identification of pre – and posttranslational modifications and interacting proteins.
