Biography

Prof. Luis A. Pardo leads a research group on ion channels in cancer at the Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine, Göttingen, Germany. His group studies the biophysical properties of potassium channels, and their roles in the control of crucial cellular functions such as proliferation or migration, with special attention to those leading to malignant transformation and tumor progression.

Luis Pardo had previously been working also on ion channels at the Department of Molecular Biology of Neuronal Signals led by Prof. Walter Stühmer since 1996. Between 2001 and 2004, he served as CSO at iOnGen AG, Göttingen, Germany. From 1993 to 1996, he was Scientist at the Biochemistry Department, University of Oviedo, Spain. Previously, he had received post-doctoral training (1991-1993) in the Department led by Prof. E: Neher at the Max-Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (Göttingen, Germany), after completing his Ph.D. at the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department at University of Oviedo. He also received his M.D. from that University in 1986.
