Postdoctoral Fellow

Frank Yeh received his BA in Biology with a Concentration in Neuroscience at CUNY Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College (2017). Following his neuroscience passions, he pursued his PhD at the Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Austin (2023). Under the tutelage of Dr. Richard Aldrich and Dr. Eric Senning, Frank studied how ion channels integrate stimuli information to perform a functional output. Notably, he improved an existing theory of thermoTRP temperature-gating mechanisms, compared sequence and structural alignments of many voltage-gated-like channels to reveal unexplored amino acids, and recorded single ion channel electrophysiology experiments from calcium- and voltage-sensitive BK channels. He joined the Indzhykulian lab to continue honing his electrophysiology skills alongside expanding his understanding of biological input-output systems. He is currently studying how PCDH15 and CD23 perturbations might affect MET channel gating properties.

He enjoys board games, concerts, hikes, and other activities of enjoyment.
