Why Is Ellen Lumpkin Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Ellen Lumpkin is an American neuroscientist and professor of cell and developmental biology and neurobiology at the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at the University of California, Berkeley. She is also co-director of the MBL Advanced Training Course in Neurobiology, and adjunct associate professor of physiology and cellular biophysics and co-director of the Thompson Family Foundation Initiative in CIPN and Sensory Neuroscience at Columbia University. Lumpkin's group studies genes, cells and signals that mediate the sensation of touch. Lumpkin is most interested in the somatosensory system and how it gives feedback to the brain on sensations such as pain or touch. She is known for her significant contributions in somatosensory system research.
