Research Interests

Understanding the mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction in disease states is a key priority for developing targeted interventions for therapeutic applications. Heart failure, cardiac hypertrophy and diabetes are major contributors to mortality and morbidity. By linking disturbances in cell death processes, intracellular structural organisation and molecular adaptations with functional disturbances in these disease settings, key targets for intervention can be identified. These investigations are undertaken at the whole body, whole organ and single cell level.
