"My previous research sought to enlarge our understanding of the role of cardiac thin filament proteins, specifically the troponin regulatory complex, in physiologic, beat-to-beat ventricular function; the myofilament contributions to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and most recently, the importance of troponin signaling in the progression of cardiac failure. Clinically, I plan to focus on cardiovascular disease and more definitive approaches to the problems facing the cardiac patient. My ultimate career goal is to help advance our state of thinking on critical issues in cardiovascular medicine through translational research and innovative patient care. In the intervening time, more specific clinical and research interests are evolving."
