Simon Levy

Simon Levy is an Associate Professor at Boston University whose research focuses on calcium signaling in nerve cells. He investigates mechanisms by which second messengers like inositol trisphosphate (InsP₃) modulate neuronal excitability through membrane permeability and intracellular calcium dynamics.
