报告人简介：

Dr. Louis Ptáček has used the tools of human genetics in the study of patients with an impressive range of human phenotypes. He pioneered the field of “Channelopathies” which encompasses a large group of episodic/electrical disorders of muscle, heart, and brain. His work has spanned from studies of human subjects/phenotypes and identification of genes/mutations causing the phenotypes to molecular characterization of functional consequences and in vivo studies through generation and study of animal models. He serves on a number editorial boards including J. Neuroscience and is the chair of the NINDS Advisory Council. He was recently elected to the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Science and to the American Association of Arts and Sciences.
