Baltimore, Md, Us

Research focused on understanding the mechanisms of heart & muscle development and disease by deciphering the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate differentiation, specification, and pathogenesis, with a specific focus on studying the main concepts of embryology and how undifferentiated cells interpret signals from extra-cellular stimuli and undergo differentiation to somatic linages. Combining genomic approaches with high content imaging platforms to study multicellular events in complex tissue at a single-cell resolution, while using pluripotent stem cells and mice as primary model systems to establish disease models for in vitro/vivo validation of targeted compounds and cell-based therapies.Specialties: Cell therapy, gene therapy, gene-editing, heart development and disease, cancer biology, genetic and molecular diagnostics, drug discovery, pharmacology, pluripotent stem cells and 3D cell engineering.Publications, patents, funding history: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3971-0467
