Dr. Lytton is a Professor Emeritus in the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary, focusing on research in molecular physiology, specifically calcium transport proteins. He obtained his B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the University of Calgary in 1979, followed by a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Harvard University in 1985. After completing postdoctoral studies in Molecular Biology at the University of Toronto in 1989, he took a junior faculty position at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. In 1995, he returned to Calgary as an AHFMR Scholar Scientist in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, where he served as Department Head from 2009 to 2019. His research interests include the structure and function of Na+/Ca2+-exchanger proteins and their roles in cardiovascular and neuronal biology. Dr. Lytton has published over 80 manuscripts, with citations exceeding 10,000. His lab's focus is on maintaining calcium homeostasis within cells and understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating the activity of NCKX4, a key determinant of calcium homeostasis in neurons and secretory epithelia.
