Ming-Feng Tsai, Ph.D.

B.S.         National Yang-Ming University, Taiwan
Ph.D.     University of Missouri


Assistant Professor
Department of Physiology and Biophysics,
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center


Research Interests
My research focuses on molecular mechanisms and physiological functions of transporters and ion-channels, particularly those in mitochondria. We approach questions using a wide range of tools, including membrane-biochemistry, electrophysiology, cryo-electron microscopy, and live-cell imaging. Check out the research page for details: Link
