Research Interest
My research interests focus on novel membrane dynamics and non-canonical functions of Na/K-ATPase in cardiac cell metabolism. I am exploring new ways to modulate myocardial metabolism to improve adverse cardiovascular remodeling in heart failure or stimulate cardiac tissue regeneration. These studies combine unbiased omics approaches and techniques such as myocardial infarction in the mouse, intramyocardial injections, echocardiography, human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) culture and differentiation, and Seahorse Real-Time Cell Metabolic Analysis.
