Dr Carlos Pardo-Pastor (King's College London) is a Research Fellow in the Randall Centre for Cell & Molecular Biophysics. He started his scientific journey studying Human Biology, an MSc in Biomedical Research and then completed his PhD in Biomedicine at Universitat Pompeu Fabra.

On this episode of the podcast we spoke with Carlos about his most recent publication (Piezo2 Channel), you can read the full publication here. He highlights the importance of funding in science, his personal experiences in applying for grants, and some helpful tips for staying motivated as a researcher and connecting with peers in the field.

On this episode of the podcast we spoke with Shashank Pant( University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign). We talked about how he started his journey as a researcher and how his curiosity of the scientific process continues to serve as a motivation to publish in high impact journals such as Nature (where he was recently part of an internationally collaboration with Renae Ryan's Lab (University of Sydney).
Here they looked at Glutamate, specifically providing insight into the mechanism by which glutamate transporters support their dual function, you can read the full publication here.

On this episode of the podcast we spoke with Dr. Filip Van Petegem about his journey starting as a structural biologist, with the work his lab is currently doing with regards to studying the structure and function of ion channels, membrane protein responsible for electrical signaling in excitable cells. His current projects involve voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels, as well as Ryanodine Receptors which he recently published a paper about, read it here.
