Thomas Voets is a full professor at the Faculty of Medicine, KU Leuven, and head of the Laboratory for Ion Channel Research (VIB-KU Leuven). He is a member of the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain Research and the KU Leuven Brain Institute.
- Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine
His research focuses on TRP channels, chronic pain mechanisms, ion channelopathies, and microglial roles in neurodevelopmental disorders. Recent projects include HumanBLISS (bladder wall sensory innervation), TRPM3 in chronic pain, and models for TRPM3-related developmental diseases.
Key publications address TRP channel structures, pain pathways in cancer patients, and microglial cytoskeletal control in synaptic deficits. Collaborations span molecular spine development (GPR158-PLCXD2) and neurodegenerative models (APOE deficiency).
Teaching includes courses in Cell Physiology, Biomedical Measurement Techniques, and Mathematical Models in Medicine.
