I am Associate Director of Discovery Biology at Cytokinetics with a specialty in cardiac physiology, mitochondrial biology, and sex differences. My major research interests are (1) understanding how the heart creates energy under healthy (e.g., exercise) vs. pathological (e.g., inflammation) conditions and (2) studying the role of sex differences in bioenergetics and disease susceptibility. I have expertise in cell and rodent models and methods that assess mitochondrial function, morphology and signaling.
