Biography
Brian Lin started his research career in Marine Biology during his undergraduate studies at Miami University, where Brian also studied skeletal muscle in birds and amphibians. After graduating in 2008, Brian worked as a behavioral neuroscience technician at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Northwestern University. From 2011 - 2016, Brian studied Cell and Molecular Physiology at Loyola University Chicago focusing on the role of skeletal muscle myofilament proteins in the lab of Sakthivel Sadayappan. From 2016-2023, Brian studied the role of TRP channels in heart and kidney disease in the lab of David Kass in the Division of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins. From that work, Brian focused on the role of TRPC6 in the context of Duchenne muscular dystrophy for which he was awarded a K99/R00 award. Brian started his independent lab in the Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology, and Anatomy at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where he continues to study novel therapeutics targeting TRP channels to treat dystrophic cardiomyopathy.
