معرفی
Diana M Horrigan is an Associate Teaching Professor of Biology and Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Brown University. Her academic work focuses on molecular physiology, pharmacology, and biophysics, particularly in cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels and retinoid interactions in photoreceptor cells.
- Education: PhD (Brown University, 2006), BA (Assumption College, 2001)
She teaches graduate courses such as Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology (BIOL 2170) and Cell Physiology and Biophysics (BIOL 1100), with a strong emphasis on professional development and modern therapeutics. Her research publications (2004–2012) explore ion channel dynamics, retinoid binding sites, and melanosomal behavior using biochemical and biophysical methods.
Horrigan collaborates with researchers like Anita Zimmerman and Matthew Zimmt, focusing on molecular microbiology and interdisciplinary biomedical science. Her work bridges basic physiological mechanisms with applied pharmacology and drug discovery.
