The Hansen Laboratory at CIMR focuses on studying the signaling of excitable cells in their native three-dimensional state to better understand the molecular basis of human disease. By investigating these molecular mechanisms, we aim to elucidate disease progression and develop therapies to prevent or mitigate its impact.
