Sal Baker

Sal Baker, PhD

Sal Baker is an assistant professor of physiology and cell biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research interests include Ca2+ signaling, ion channels, mechano-transduction, neuroeffector, and cell-to-cell communication to understand fundamental mechanisms that shape muscle excitability with emphasis on the role of interstitial cells. His current projects involve using Ca2+ imaging in vivo and in vitro, particularly using optogenetic sensors combined with electrophysiological studies to investigate motility and neural regulation of smooth muscles.
