Areas of Research
In our laboratory we are interested in the cellular and molecular basis for cardiac arrhythmias that occur due to genetic mutations or in the setting of common forms of heart disease such as hypertension, heart failure and diabetes. Areas of particular focus include sinoatrial node dysfunction and atrial fibrillation. We are especially interested in the contributions of electrical remodeling of ion channel function as well as structural remodeling and fibrosis to changes in cardiac function. Our experimental approaches span from the cellular and molecular levels to the organ and organism levels. Our studies are performed in animal models, including wildtype and genetically modified mice, as well as in human tissues and human patients.
Supervising degrees
Working with this supervisor
The goal of the Rose Lab is to provide a dynamic and supportive environment with opportunities to pursue cutting edge research in cardiac physiology and disease. Mentoring and training premier scientists for future generations is a top priority in the Rose Lab. Everyone who joins the laboratory will have the opportunity to pursue their research interests and develop skills that are critical for both short term and long term success. In addition to training with multiple techniques, models, and approaches, members of the laboratory will have the opportunity develop additional skills that are essential for careers in research and other related fields.
Motivated and enthusiastic individuals are encouraged to contact Dr. Rose to discuss opportunities in the laboratory.
