Christian Wahl-Schott is a Professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich , leading the Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathophysiology group at the Biomedical Center Munich. His research spans ion channel mechanisms in cardiac, neurological, and metabolic diseases. Focus on HCN channels in cardiac pacemaking and autonomic regulation Endo-lysosomal ion channels in cholesterol homeostasis and viral pathogenesis Neural rhythms and epilepsy mechanisms Developed endo-lysosomal patch clamp and high-speed optical mapping Recent work explores the role of TPC2 and TRPML channels in Ebola virus entry and cardiac arrhythmia . Funded by the DFG and CRC 870 , his lab combines electrophysiology , optogenetics , and human organoid models . Key publications include: 2024: HCN4 channel regulation in sinoatrial node 2023: E-selectin and neutrophil inflammasome activation 2021: Heart-forming organoids for developmental studies 2020: cAMP-dependent pacemaker entrainment 2015: TPC channels as Ebola drug targets The lab maintains collaborations with institutions like the German Research Foundation and DZHK , and has developed Nature Protocols -cited methodologies in FRET microscopy and endo-lysosomal patch clamping .
