Avia Rosenhouse-Dantsker

University of Illinois at Chicago United States of America

Dr. Rosenhouse-Dantsker’s M.Sc. and D.Sc. theses in chemistry focused on quantum theory at the interface of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. After continuing in this direction for several years as a postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Rosenhouse-Dantsker became interested in research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine. Pursuing postdoctoral training at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New-York, she first performed computational biology research on G protein-coupled receptors and then delved into experimental research in the ion channel field. Since 2002, Dr. Rosenhouse-Dantsker research has focused on the modulation of potassium channels by ions, proteins, and lipids using a combination of experimental and computational approaches. This research has resulted in many publications, including in Nature Chemical Biology, PNAS, J Neuroscience, J Lipid Research, JBC, as well as others. In 2008, Dr. Rosenhouse-Dantsker joined the University of Illinois Chicago where she is a Clinical Associate Professor. Dr. Rosenhouse-Dantsker has co-edited two volumes on the modulation of protein function by cholesterol (published in 2019, Springer Nature), and served as the editor of a volume on cholesterol and PI(4,5)P2 in vital biological functions (to be published in March 2023).
