Richard Tsien

Richard Tsien is a distinguished neurobiologist and biophysicist known for his research on how neurons communicate in the brain. He studies the tiny channels in neuron cells called ion channels, which regulate electrical signals essential for brain function, learning, and memory. His work helps us understand neurological conditions and develop potential treatments. Tsien's contributions have advanced our knowledge of the brain's complex signaling systems, bridging biology and medicine to explore how nerve cells transmit information.
