Overview
overview
Our lab is interested in the molecular events that control gene expression during animal development. Using muscle (cardiac, skeletal and smooth) as model systems, we study transcriptional, epigenetic and microRNA (miRNA)-mediated post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. We apply a variety of developmental, molecular, cellular, biochemical, genetic and physiological approaches, including transgenic and knockout mouse models in our lab.

The heart is the “heart” of life. Heart disease is the number one cause of mortality and morbidity world wide. Congenital heart disease occurs in one of every one hundred live births and is the most common human birth defect. Discovery of the genetic control and molecular mechanisms of heart development is an important prerequisite to develop novel therapies for human cardiovascular disease.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
