Paul de Koninck has produced seminal work on the understanding of the role of intracellular signalling enzymes in the decoding of synaptic mechanisms. He brings his expertise in enzyme biochemistry, real time resolution of dynamic molecular events in live neurons, studies of enzyme-receptor interaction and signal encoding and intracellular calcium oscillations.

His group investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms used by neurons to decode synaptic and electrical activities that propagate through neural circuits. Dr. DeKoninck is particularly interested in learning how these mechanisms contribute to synaptic remodeling and to the maintenance and modifications of brain circuit connectivity.

Paul de Koninck is a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Awardee and a former MRC centennial and Human Frontiers Fellow.
