Biography

Ehsan Kheradpezhouh is a research fellow at the Eccles Institute of Neuroscience at the Australian National University. He studied medicine at Shiraz University and received his PhD in Physiology from the University of Adelaide in 2015. His research focuses on the physiological and pathological roles of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in the mammalian cortex. TRP channels are a superfamily of nonselective cation channels that are conserved across species from yeasts to humans. His research has identified high expression of TRPA1 (Ankyrin 1) in rodent cortical neurons. Currently, he utilizes in vivo and in vitro electrophysiology, two-photon calcium imaging, and behavioral assays to investigate how TRPA1 modulates sensory processing through various modalities such as whisker-touch and vision. Kheradpezhouh aims to expand the understanding of the role TRP channels play in brain pathologies, particularly in conditions like Multiple Sclerosis and Epilepsy.
