Personal profile
Research Interests
Our lab drives translational research that seeks to help patients who have heart failure. We use biophysical, biochemical, and computational techniques to bridge the scientific gaps between molecular, celllular, and organ-level function.
Our research is grounded in sarcomere-level mechanics and mathematical modeling but extends beyond the myofilaments to explore ventricular growth, organ-level function, whole-body hemodynamics, and myocardial recovery induced by ventricular unloading.
