Nano Main Field:
Nanobioelectricity, Nanomedicine, Nanobiotechnology, Nanobioenergetics
Research Interests:
The lab has two main research directions.
1. Identification and characterization of intrinsic nano-mechanisms to pacemaker cells that control the heart rate and rhythm and the pacemaker energy balance.
2. Characterization the nano signaling that couples energy production to electrical activity in atrial cells and identify whether disturbance in this coupling can lead to atrial fibrillation.
We employ high-resolution nano technology to quantify bioelectrical and bioenergetics systems.
