My research laboratory is a part of the Brigham Regenerative Medicine Center, a research program I direct. My laboratory's approach is to understand important problems at a molecular level, design solutions in the laboratory and then demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions in vivo. We are particularly interested in using lessons from developmental biology to design solutions for regenerative medicine. Ongoing projects in the laboratory include studies of cardiac regeneration, diabetes, aging and heart failure. I enjoy my role as a mentor for graduate students, research fellows and physician scientists who wish to pursue questions in molecular medicine.
