Research Bio
Ellen Lumpkin joins the Molecular & Cell Biology faculty in the Division of Cell & Developmental Biology and Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute. Her laboratory studies the somatosensory system with the goal of discovering the molecular, cellular and circuit mechanisms that encode environmental stimuli into neural signals. A primary focus of the lab is to elucidate mechanisms of touch and pain.
