Studying mitochondria at the intersection of cardiac physiology, development, and disease.
The mission of our lab is to undercover basic mechanisms of mitochondrial communication—pathways that mitochondria engage to communicate energy dysfunction—and how these pathways can be leveraged to prevent cardiac disease that affect both children (primary mitochondrial disorders, mitochondrial cardiomyopathy, congenital heart defects) and adults (heart failure).
