Research Labs

  • In our laboratory, we are evaluating the risk of cardiovascular disease and sleep patterns in a diverse population of women in various life stages.

  • The Shah Ali Lab studies cardiac regeneration in mice with the hope to discover new treatments for heart disease. We use the neonatal mouse heart as a model of mammalian cardiac renewal.

  • The Bauer Lab uses molecular biology, animal physiology, and functional genomics to translate human genetics studies into actionable biological mechanisms, focusing on cardiometabolic traits.

  • The Garcia Lab studies how the body responds to oxygen or glucose deprivation, stress conditions present in stroke, heart attack, anemia, cancer, and other disease states with inadequate blood flow.

  • The Marx Lab studies the regulation of ion channels by macromolecular complexes.

  • The Morrow Lab investigates disease models of chronic metabolic stress and acute metabolic stress, using molecular biology, cellular physiology, and in vivo techniques.

  • The Reilly Lab is dedicated to translational and genomic studies of human cardiometabolic disorders.

  • The Soffer Lab at the Seymour, Paul and Gloria Milstein Division of Cardiology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

  • The Shimada lab focuses on investigating and intervening upon the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with the pathogenesis and progression of genetic and acquired cardiomyopathies.

  • The Topkara laboratory seeks to identify molecular mechanisms that contribute to the development and progression of heart failure and design novel strategies to reverse this condition.

  • The Tsai lab focuses on discovering and understanding novel signaling mechanisms of heart failure and developing innovative therapies for improving heart function.

  • Research at the Wan Lab is focused on the vascular and electrophysiological changes that occur in heart failure and in atrial fibrillation.

  • The Wu Lab develops integrated experimental and computational approaches to understand RNA-based gene regulation in health and disease.

  • The Zhang laboratory in the Department of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center is interested in the role of macrophages in cardiometabolic diseases.
