Dr. Rohrbough investigates the ion transport properties of the ClC-3 2 Cl-/1 H exchanger and the LRRC8 (VRAC) chloride channel, and developmental chloride conductances in the ductus arteriosus. He uses electrophysiological recordings (whole cell, perforated patch and intracellular recordings), confocal microscopy, and optical cellular recording of intracellular Cl- and pH. Dr. Rohrbough received his training in Neuroscience at the University of California Los Angeles. His earlier work focused largely on synaptic development, including the functional development of voltage-gated ion channels and multiple classes of synaptic transmitter receptors (GluR, GABAR, AChR) in vertebrate spinal neurons, and the development and genetic regulation of glutamatergic synaptic function in Drosophila.
