The Tristani-Firouzi Lab is located in the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute (CVRTI) on the University of Utah School of Medicine campus. The Tristani-Firouzi lab is dedicated to the study of ion channel biophysics and Precision Cardiovascular Medicine, using a multi-disciplinary approach coupled with cutting-edge research techniques. Dr. Tristani-Firouzi is a board-certified pediatric cardiologist and clinician-scientist with nearly 20 years of continuous federal and foundational funding focusing on the genomic basis of inherited arrhythmia syndromes and congenital heart disease (CHD); the functional characterization of putative CHD and arrhythmia disease-causing genetic variants; the mechanisms controlling heart development and cardiac excitability; and fundamental properties of voltage-sensitive cardiac proteins.
