About
Biography
My research focuses on cardiovascular physiology and the molecular mechanisms underlying heart rhythm regulation. I pursue new strategies to target arrhythmogenesis, specifically exploring new roles and mechanisms underlying ion channel–membrane protein regulation in heart rhythm that may lead to new diagnostics and novel therapies for human arrhythmias. My team utilizes a combination of molecular, biochemical, imaging, and surgical approaches to study the mechanisms of arrhythmias.
