Kenton will show us how ion channels&#8217; construction makes them responsive to signals, controllable and very fast. It&#8217;s very exciting to have him come to speak,&quot; Dr. Herin added. <\/p>\n<p> Dr. Swartz joined NIH as an investigator in 1997 and was promoted to senior investigator in 2003. His laboratory uses biochemical, molecular biological and biophysical techniques to investigate the structure of voltage-activated ion channels and to explore the molecular mechanics by which these channels gate. <\/p>\n<p> Swartz received a BS degree in <a href=\"\/chemistry\/\">chemistry<\/a> and biology in 1986 from 黑料正能量. In 1992, he received a PhD in neurobiology from Harvard University, studying the regulation of voltage-gated calcium channels. He did postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School, where he began isolating and studying toxins that interact with voltage-activated potassium channels. <\/p>\n<p> Refreshments will be served 15 minutes prior to the presentation, which is open to everyone free of charge. <\/p>\n<p> For more information, contact <a href=\"\/personnel\/people\/show\/millerrj?ssi=biology\">Dr. Roman J.
