Research/Areas of Interest
Our research focuses on molecular signaling pathways and pathogenic cardiac remodeling that can lead to heart failure and death. We are particularly interested in the way protein kinase G I. (PKGI.) functions with other molecules in this setting. We are using genetically modified mouse models to probe downstream pathways that are influenced by PKGI. with a long range goal of identifying possible avenues for new therapies to combat heart failure.
