Postdoctoral Profiles

 

Current Research: 
After completing my PhD on molecular genetics of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, I was looking for a postdoctoral position in a laboratory, which, firstly, focuses on cardiovascular research and, secondly, offers multidisciplinary approaches. Although it has been quite a bit of a transition from one field to another, Dr. Michele’s laboratory has been an ideal place. My current research is focused on molecular mechanisms of cardiomyopathy associated with muscular dystrophies.
