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, she 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’s research has focused on the modulation of potassium channels by ions, proteins, and lipids using a combination of experimental and computational approaches. Her research has been published in Nature Chemical Biology, PNAS, J Neuroscience, J Lipid Research, and JBC, among other leading journals. In 2008, Dr. Rosenhouse-Dantsker joined the University of Illinois Chicago where she is now a Clinical Associate Professor. Dr. Rosenhouse-Dantsker has co-edited two volumes on the modulation of protein function by cholesterol (Springer), and served as the editor of Cholesterol and PI(4,5)P2 in Vital Biological Functions: From Coexistence to Crosstalk (Springer).
