Dr. Leigh Anne Swayne is a neuroscientist who was recently recruited (January 1, 2011) to the Division of Medical Sciences (UVic) and the Island Medical Program (UBC). She has expertise in electrophysiology as well as protein and lipid biochemistry. She previously held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Ottawa and at the CNRS in Montpellier, France. Leigh Anne's long-term lab direction is to uncover and understand the myriad functions of ion channels in the impulse conducting cells of the brain over the 'lifetime' of these cells (from the neural stem cell to the mature neuron).
