Biography

Antonios Pantazis is a Senior Associate Professor at Linköping University. His research focuses on capturing molecular transitions that govern cellular electrical excitability, particularly through the study of ion channel biophysics. His work aims to understand the fundamental basis of cellular excitability in health and disease. Pantazis investigates how bodies function as 'wet computers', utilizing electrical signals to mediate nerve function, maintain regular heart rhythm, and control muscle contraction and other physiological functions. He explores voltage-gated ion channels, which are macromolecules that span the cell membrane and allow specific ions to cross in response to electrical signals. By controlling ionic conduction, these ion channels are crucial in governing cellular excitability; thus, understanding their function and regulatory mechanisms is critical for insights into health issues related to cellular excitability. Pantazis employs a combination of innovative electrophysiological, optical, and computational approaches to investigate the intricate molecular architecture of ion channels and how their dysfunction may relate to various health conditions.
