Muscle Biology Program
The CVRTI Muscle Biology Program seeks to deepen understanding of how cardiac muscle functions in both healthy and diseased hearts. Using a combination of human tissue studies, cellular and animal models, and translational approaches, the program examines mechanisms of myocardial recovery, cardiac remodeling, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. The work integrates basic, translational, and clinical research with the goal of identifying new molecular and cellular targets that could lead to improved therapies for heart failure and related cardiac conditions.
