Biography

Eamonn Dickson is a Professor at UC Davis in the Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology. He leads research on intracellular signaling pathways and their alteration in neurodegenerative diseases. His lab employs a multi-disciplinary approach involving advanced fluorescence super-resolution imaging, electrophysiology, and various cell and molecular biology techniques to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind signal transduction and ion channel function in the context of neurodegeneration. His extensive publication record reflects his focus on how these pathways impact cellular systems and gene expression related to neurodegenerative disorders. Among his contributions are investigations into phosphoinositide signaling and its role in cellular excitability, alongside the investigation of nutrient sensing mechanisms in the brain. He engages actively with graduate groups and has been affiliated with multiple research initiatives in physiology and related disciplines.
