Research Assistant
University of Saskatchewan, Canada
My name is Nicolas Henao Romero (M.Sc.), I am a research assistant under the supervision of Dr. Veronica Campanucci and Dr. Juan Ianowski at the College of Medicine of the University of Saskatchewan. For almost three years, I have been involved in studying the role of the CFTR in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) as well as in the gastrointestinal system. The focus of my research has been to use patch clamp electrophysiology, immunocytochemistry, and protein analysis to elucidate the different pathophysiological pathways that could be involved in the development of peripheral neuropathy in CF patients.
