Sara Liin is a Senior Associate Professor at Linköping University specializing in the research of ion channels, which are critical proteins that regulate electric activity underlying heartbeat and signaling in the nervous system. Her research focuses on understanding the fine molecular details of mutations that impair ion channel function, with the aim of developing new pharmacological strategies to restore ion channel activity. Particularly, she investigates cardiac ion channels and their role in causing cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial and ventricular fibrillation, which can lead to sudden cardiac death. Her research group works diligently to elucidate how specific mutations affect cardiac rhythms and seeks to identify potential medical therapies that could restore the function of these critical channels. In 2021, she received the Eric K Fernström award for young scientists, recognizing her contributions to the field of neurobiology and cardiovascular research.
