Dr. Roger Thompson is a Professor at the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases and the fundamentals of synaptic plasticity. His lab is currently investigating novel mechanisms of signaling related to NMDA receptors, particularly their metabotropic role. Additionally, Dr. Thompson's lab employs state-of-the-art electrophysiology, imaging, and molecular biology techniques to elucidate the diverse roles that ion channels, such as pannexin-1, play in cell death and plasticity. Through this work, he aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of cellular processes involved in neuronal health and disease.
