Dr. Vladimir Yarov Yarovoy

Biography

Vladimir Yarov-Yarovoy is a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on the structure and function of voltage-gated ion channels, which are crucial for neuronal signaling and synaptic transmission. He investigates how mutations in these channels can lead to neurological disorders and explores therapeutic interventions for diseases such as chronic pain and epilepsy. Additionally, Yarov-Yarovoy is involved in the development of computational methods for membrane protein structure prediction, primarily using the Rosetta-Membrane approach. His ongoing projects aim to dissect the evolutionary history of ion channels and understand their functional modulation at the structural level. He has published extensively on these topics, contributing significantly to the understanding of ion channel mechanisms and their relevance to health and disease.
