His name is Chris Miller (Brandeis). He is also president-elect of the
Biophysical Society. His lectures are more entertaining than Saturday
Night Live. In fact, I once saw him break out in song during a keynote
address (singing a satire of modern neurobiology, with piano
accompaniment, to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan's "I am the very model
of a modern major general" - it really had to be seen to be believed).
Regarding K-channel antibodies, I would especially recommend doing a
medline search for papers by Lily Jan.
