The laboratory is interested in the regulation of gene expression in heart development and heart failure. We seek to apply our understanding of heart development towards regenerative approaches to congenital and acquired heart disease.
Current Projects:
1. Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of heart development and heart function.
2. Heart regeneration.
3. Modeling heart disease with iPS technology.
