    Collapse overview
    Theodore (Ted) Wensel is Chair of the Verna and Marrs McLean Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. In 2012, it ranked 11th among medical school Biochemistry departments nationwide in NIH funding, according to the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research.
    The Wensel lab studies molecular mechanisms of intracellular signal transduction, primarily in the nervous system, and new approaches to understanding and developing therapies for diseases involving defects in signal transduction and neurodegeneration in sensory systems. Our approaches range from using x-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy mutagenesis, and time resolved luminescence energy transfer to understand the structural basis for signal transduction at the molecular and atomic level, to extensive use and development of genetically engineered animal models to understand the impact of molecular defects at the level of intact animals. Particular areas of interest and expertise include:
    Visual transduction in the vertebrate retina
    G protein pathways and proteins that regulate them in the retina and the brain
    RGS proteins: GAPs for heterotrimeric G proteins
    Biomembranes
    Ocular Proteomics
    Gene repair in neurons
    Time-resolved fluorescence and luminescence
    Electron and x-ray crystallography
    Cryo-electron tomography
    Gene engineering in mice and frogs
    TRP Channels
