We have several projects in the Bassetto Lab:

  1. Understanding thermosensation in ion channels using temperature jumps (Tjumps).
  2. Photomechanical approach to study mechanosensation in ion channels.
  3. Interaction of electromagnetic waves and proteins.

Using TJump and Capacitance-based temperature measurement to understand thermosensation in ion channels.
