Sebastien Poget

Dr. Sebastien Poget is an Associate Professor at the College of Staten Island (CSI), CUNY. His research focuses on membrane proteins, particularly ion channels and their interactions with animal peptide toxins, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. He develops NMR methodologies to study these systems and investigates toxin-channel interactions to understand channel modulation for potential drug development. His work spans structural biology, biophysics, and toxinology.

Education: Ph.D. in Chemistry (University of Cambridge, 2001) and Diploma in Chemistry (University of Basel, 1997). His lab, the Poget Lab, is active in toxin discovery from venoms and studies their structural and functional effects on ion channels.

Key research areas include potassium/sodium channel physiology, venom peptide mechanisms, and NMR methodology advancements. His publications (2017–1999) cover receptor structures, toxin-channel interactions, and membrane protein dynamics. No awards are explicitly mentioned, but his work contributes to understanding neurological disorders and drug design.
