Arantza Muguruza Montero

Arantza Muguruza Montero is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Biofisika Institute, a joint research center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). She is based in the Ion Signaling and Disease in Excitable Membranes Laboratory, led by Dr. Alvaro Villarroel, located at the Science Park of the EHU in Leioa, Spain.

Her research centers on the physiology and physiopathology of the Kv7.2 potassium channel, a key player in regulating neuronal excitability and implicated in conditions such as epilepsy and other neurological disorders. Her work bridges molecular biology, biophysics, and disease mechanisms in excitable membranes.

• Bachelor of Science in Biology, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)
• Master of Science in Biomedicine and Molecular Biology, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)

Her research interests include neurophysiology, ion channel function, membrane signaling, and the molecular basis of neurological diseases. She applies techniques in molecular biology, electrophysiology, and cellular imaging to understand channel behavior in health and disease.
