Lab History
James Trimmer received his PhD from UC San Diego and was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale School of Medicine before becoming a faculty member at Stony Brook University from 1990-2003. The Trimmer Lab moved to UC Davis in 2003, and the UC Davis/NIH NeuroMab Facility was founded in 2005. Lab members use a combination of biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, neuroscience, and physiology techniques to study activity-dependent regulation and subcellular localization of ion channel signaling complexes in both physiological and pathological states.
