Research Interests

We are interested in the molecular mechanisms of signal transduction, particularly in the role of proteostasis (protein homeostasis) in cardiovascular diseases. Impaired protein degradation is associated with many cardiac and skeletal muscle diseases. Our laboratory is interested in investigating the signaling pathways involved in proteostasis (protein homeostasis) in cardiac and skeletal muscle diseases. Our laboratory is also interested in the side effects of commonly used drugs, such as ibuprofen, on the heart.
