Research Interests
The integrity of Na+,K+-ATPase protein complexes at the cell surface of the cardiac myocyte is not only critical
for the maintenance of ion homeostasis, it is also key to adequate initiation and
transduction of digitalis signalling and subsequent pharmacological effects. We focus
on the mechanism of ischemia/reperfusion-induced Na+,K+-ATPase alteration and preconditioning by digitalis as tools to develop novel approaches for therapeutic
intervention in myocardial infarction.
Member of the mentoring faculty for the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program (Cardiovascular
and Metabolic Diseases).
