Biography

Dr. Aaron Beedle received her PhD in Neuroscience in 2003 under the mentorship of Dr. Gerald Zamponi at the University of Calgary. Her studies involved cloning, expression, and functional characterization of voltage-gated calcium channels with important relevance to the modulation of these channels in pain pathways. Her technical repertoire for these studies included molecular biology, electrophysiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, and cell imaging.
