About Brian Tanaka
Scientist with expertise in rare diseases of pain and epilepsy employing a broad skillset of in-vitro electrophysiological techniques (patch-clamp, multi-electrode arrays, TEVC) from human derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), primary cultured neurons, cell lines and brain slices to evaluate excitability of ion channels in neurological diseases. Technically skilled in pharmacologic assessment of peptides and small molecules in modulating ion channel activity. Self-motivated and able to work independently as well as excel in challenging, collaborative and interdisciplinary environments. I have demonstrated leadership moving time-sensitive projects forward by working closely with internal and external contributors. Always eager to learn and implement innovative technologies that enable time-sensitive projects to progress rapidly and efficiently. I have a proven track record of authorship in top-tier journals, including Nature, Neuron, Journal of Neuroscience, Scientific Reports, and Journal of Physiology. Research expertise: In vitro electrophysiology (brain slices, primary neurons, cell lines and induced pluripotent stem cells), patch clamp, MEA assay, neurophysiology, pharmacology, molecular biology, cellular biology, immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy and animal handling.
