DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nikita Gamper\, School of Biomedical Sciences\, Unive
 rsity of Leeds\n\nTalk Title: Peripheral Gate in Somatosensory System\n\nB
 iography: Nikita is a neuroscientist and biophysicist with interests in ne
 uronal communication\, intracellular signalling and mechanisms of pain tra
 nsmission. He graduated in Biology/Biochemistry from the St. Petersburg St
 ate University (Russia) in 1995. In 1999 he obtained a PhD in Physiology f
 rom the Sechenov Institute of Evolutionary Physiology and Biochemistry (Ru
 ssian Academy of Science\; St Petersburg\, Russia). After postdoctoral wor
 k at Tubingen University\, Germany (laboratory of Florian Lang\; 1999-2001
 ) and at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio\, US
 A (Laboratory of Mark Shapiro\; 2001-2005) he joined Faculty of Biological
  Sciences at the University of Leeds (lecturer: 2005-2011\; associate prof
 essor: 2011-2014\; professor since 2014). In 2011 he accepted a position o
 f Adjunct Professor of Pharmacology at the Hebei Medical University (Shiji
 azhuang\, China) where he currently lead a small research group as well. H
 is research (both in Leeds and in Shijiazhuang) is focused on biophysical 
 principles of neuronal communication and on the regulation of ion channels
  that control or influence excitability of the peripheral ‘pain’ neuro
 ns. He is also interested in the modulation of different neuronal ion chan
 nels by G protein coupled receptors (GPSRs) and in localised GPCR signalli
 ng in sensory neurons.\n
