Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Molecular Cardiology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Cell and organ function are underpinned by specific protein complements.
  • Contractile protein alterations in the heart correlate with functional changes during development and disease.
  • Establishing causative proof for these protein-function relationships has been a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish causative proof for the role of specific cardiac proteins in heart function and pathology.
  • To investigate the consequences of altering cardiac protein profiles using genetic manipulation.
  • To understand the molecular, biochemical, cytological, and physiological effects of defined genetic changes in the heart.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing transgenesis to stably modify the mammalian genome.
