To study these pathways, my laboratory uses a comprehensive experimental approach from molecule-cell-organ-organism. We use mouse and rat models of both inherited (catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, long QT syndrome) and acquired (hypertrophy, heart failure, aging, diabetes, atrial fibrillation) cardiac disease. Methods we use include molecular biology, high-resolution confocal microscopy and live cell imaging, electrophysiology, whole heart optical mapping and in vivo gene editing.
