Research Interests
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death globally as suggested by recent scientific studies. A better understanding of various preventative measures for CVD and heart failure is needed. My research is focused on understanding the mechanisms involved in cardiomyopathy and to identify novel strategies to improve heart function by using cell culture, mouse and macaque models.
My current research focuses are:
- Structure-function analysis of sarcomeric proteins
- Investigating the role of post translational modifications (Ubiquitination, SUMOylation, phosphorylation) in cellular protein quality control and cardiac function
- Understanding the role of HIV-1 and antiretroviral drug in cellular toxicity and development of cardiomyopathy
- CRISPR/CAS9 mediated gene editing
