Georg Zoidl

Dr. Georg Zoidl is a Professor in the Department of Biology at York University and an internationally recognized expert in neuronal communication and signal transduction.

His research investigates the electrical and metabolic coupling of nerve cells mediated by connexins and pannexins, with a focus on understanding their roles in health and disease. Dr. Zoidl’s interdisciplinary research integrates molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, proteomics, and cutting-edge live-cell imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, TIRF, FRAP, and FRET. His team employs electrophysiological approaches, including in vivo patch-clamp recordings, to study disease mechanisms at the molecular level.
