Genetic correction of DNA damage-dependent cardiomyopathies

About

Mutations in nuclear envelope proteins cause devastating human diseases, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophies, characterized by DNA damage. I have generated several in vitro and in vivo models to study the underlying molecular mechanisms of these conditions. Importantly, I have also developed gene therapy and gene editing strategies to combat these diseases and have applied them in vivo.

Bio

My scientific interests lie in the molecular mechanisms of cardiac and skeletal muscle diseases caused by alterations in nuclear envelope proteins and in utilizing gene editing technologies to combat these devastating conditions. I have made substantial scientific contributions that have been published in high-impact journals. Recently, I received the Ramón y Cajal award, which will allow me to establish my own research group.
