Dr. Trevor Lewis is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Medical Sciences at the University of New South Wales, specializing in Physiology. His teaching encompasses science, medical science, and medicine programs, focusing on physiology and neuroscience. Dr. Lewis's research investigates the relationship between structure and function in ligand-gated ion channels, key elements underlying cellular excitability. His work extensively employs techniques such as patch clamp electrophysiology to record whole-cell and single-channel responses, as well as imaging techniques to localize ion channels. He aims to understand the molecular events leading to the opening of ligand-gated ion channels and investigate disease mutations in human glycine receptors. His current focus includes novel mechanisms that activate ligand-gated ion channels, particularly at the interfaces of channel subunits involved in ligand binding. He has received several accolades including the Faculty of Medicine Educator of the Year and the Vice Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence for his outstanding contributions to student learning.
