Cardiovascular Disease

AFIB   Human Cardiomyocyte

 

 

We study the mechanisms underlying  major cardiovascular disorders, including heart failure, hypertension, and arrhythmias.

We have identified new targets to treat these disorders and we are continuing to lead the way toward new discoveries.
