I investigate how ion transport processes shape epithelial function in health and disease. My research centers on chloride and acid-base transport, using electrophysiology and live-cell imaging to uncover how epithelial cells coordinate physiological processes. Through this lens, my lab explores the fundamental mechanisms that drive epithelial homeostasis and their disruption in disease.

My research interests lie in the interplay between the molecular mechanisms of human physiology and their emergent properties. (Please direct any website related inquiries to allen-attar@uiowa.edu.)

I am an undergraduate pre-medical student at the University of Iowa majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology.

My research interests lie in human physiology, microbiology, and their interplay.

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Iowa pursuing a degree in Biology with a focus in Integrative Biology.

My current interest is in ion transport across membrane, especially polarized epithelia, which act as a well-organized conveyer system. Electronic circuit analysis is a useful technique to test hypotheses regarding epithelial ion transport. I primarily study the physicochemical factors affecting ion flux through ion channels and transporters.

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Iowa majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology on the pre-medicine track.

My current interest lies in understanding the epithelial ion transport and associated changes in inflammatory disease states. Additionally, I am also keen to understand, how environmental changes drive the  epithelial cell developmental fates.
