Overview

Current Studies

My research group is broadly interested in the intersection of regenerative biology with cardiovascular disease. We use a variety of model systems, including zebrafish, mice, and iPSC derived cardiac cells to identify factors that can be used to stimulate and monitor heart regeneration. We also collaborate with investigators across campus to develop novel platforms for delivering regenerative factors to the heart.
