Research summary
My long-term research interest focuses on the generation and transduction of mechanical forces in cardiovascular disease. In particular, my lab utilizes an array of biophysical, biochemical, cell biological, and engineering techniques to decipher how mutations associated with familial cardiomyopathies drive disease pathogenesis at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels. My lab is also working to develop precision medicine approaches for pediatric and adult heart failure.
