Research interests
Research Interests: The principal focus of our research is identification of disease-causing genes and elucidation of pathogenetic mechanisms in inherited disorders of the heart's contraction and rhythm. Our clinical studies focus on gene discovery studies in families with dilated cardiomyopathy and/or atrial fibrillation. The functional consequences of DNA variants identified in families are evaluated using in vitro techniques as well as in mouse and zebrafish models. Broad Research Areas: Cardiology and Vascular Disease. Qualifications: BSc (Med), MB BS Syd, FRACP, MD UNSW. Society Memberships & Professional Activities: Fellow, Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand, Member, Basic Sciences Council, American Heart Association. Specific Research Keywords: Molecular Cardiology, Cardiomyopathy, Genetics, Arrhythmias, Atrial fibrillation
