Background
PREFERRED TITLE/ROLE:

Physician, Associate Professor

EDUCATION:

Fellowship, Cardiovascular Disease, University of Pennsylvania Medical Center (Philadelphia) (1995)
Residency, Internal Medicine, Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center (1990)
M.D., University of Maryland School of Medicine (Baltimore) (1984)
Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore) (1991)

NARRATIVE:

My interests are in basic cardiac mechanics, or myocardial biophysics. I have studied the contractile abnormalities in cardiomyopathies, and the way that calcium activates the thin filaments by changing the conformation of the troponin-actin-actomyosin complex.

I am now studying the myocardial response to injuries.
