📢📢 Excited to share my publication in Journal of General Physiology GrTx-SIA, found in tarantula venom, originally shown to block Cav channels. Here, we report that it can also potently inhibit Nav currents with NaV1.6 being the most susceptible subtype. Check it out!

Ready to hear about our Strategic Day?🌟 Let’s take a trip back to a fantastic brainstorming meeting that happened last month - a day packed with insights, excitement, and team spirit. We analyzed, discussed, and pinpointed what propelled us forward last academic year. 🧵1/4
