People in the Lab *and personal haikus!

Committee meetings
Too many, make my brain numb  
Just like TTX.

The name of the game
Is excitability  
For neurons and me.

Stéphanie Ratté, Senior Research Associate

Stéphanie is contributing her experience in neuronal excitability to many of the projects in the lab. Her expertise includes optical methods and in vitro electrophysiology, especially dynamic clamp.
