Prof. Luis Pardo Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Germany

Luis A. Pardo is a research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Göttingen, Germany. His group studies the biophysical properties of potassium channels, and their roles in the control of crucial cellular functions, such as proliferation or migration, with a main focus on cancer-relevant events.

After defending his PhD, he moved to Germany to work on ion channels as a postdoc in the Department led by Prof. E: Neher at the Max-Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (Göttingen, Germany). From 1993 to 1996, he was a Scientist at the Biochemistry Department, University of Oviedo, Spain. He then joined the Department of Molecular Biology of Neuronal Signals led by Prof. Walter Stühmer at the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine, which became the Max-Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences through the merger with the Max-Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in 2022.
