Research Summary

Research in my lab is focused on defining novel signaling and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that underlie cardiac remodeling and heart failure. We take multi-disciplinary approaches including biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, molecular genetics, and cardiac physiology to understand the molecular basis of heart disease using genetic mouse models. There are 3 research areas: A. Molecular mechanisms of cardiac remodeling; B. Molecular regulation of cardiac cell survival and death; C. Novel roles of regulated necrosis in heart disease.
