| Summary |
The ability to regulate cell volume in the face of osmotic challenge is one of the most fundamental of cellular homeostatic mechanisms. Cellular and Molecular Physiology of Cell Volume Regulation is an integrated collection of articles describing key aspects of cell volume control. The book has been organized around concepts and cellular/molecular processes rather than around mechanisms of volume regulation in specific cell types in order to make it more accessible to a multidisciplinary audience of students, instructors, and researchers |

Dr. Kevin Strange, Ph. D., is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Nephrology at Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, and Associate Director of the Renal Research Laboratories., Dr. Strange graduated from the University of California at Davis with a B.S. degree in zoology (summa cum laude) in 1977. He obtained his M.A. and Ph. D. degrees in zoology in 1978 and 1983 from the University of California at Davis and the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, respectively. From 1983 to 1986, he was a research fellow in the Laboratory of Kidney and Electrolyte Metabolism at the National Institutes of Health and became Assistant Professor of Physiology and Biophysics at Wright State University School of Medicine in 1986. He assumed his present position at Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in 1990., Dr. Strange is a member of the Society of General Physiologists, the American Physiological Society, the American Society of Nephrology, and the Society for Neuroscience. He has presented a number of invited lectures at international and national scientific meetings and has presented invited talks to the Foster Club at Cambridge University, Cambridge, England, and the Danish Biological Society in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1993, he was an invited lecturer at the St. Goran's Children's Hospital and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden., Dr. Strange has published more than 30 first or senior authored and numerous coauthored papers. The major research focus in his laboratory is on elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms of membrane solute transport and cell volume control in the central nervous system with an emphasis on understanding how these processes relate to various disease states. His research is funded by the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association, the National Science Foundation, the American Diabetes Association, and private corporations. He is currently an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association |
