My long-term research interests are focused on understanding the molecular adaptations governing pathological myocardial remodeling, exercise intolerance, and the progression to heart failure in patients with congenital heart disease. The lab utilizes several unique tools to address the mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction including whole animal and cell culture-based models, as well as access to a meticulously preserved Pediatric Tissue and Blood Bank here at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. My research objective is to improve our molecular understanding of heart failure in the pediatric congenital heart disease population with the goal of identifying efficacious therapies through basic science and clinical investigations and improving outcomes in this vulnerable group . I plan to accomplish these goals through several avenues including: 1) better understanding the molecular adaptations of pediatric heart failure, 2) identification of novel therapeutic targets, 3) animal and cell-based model development, 4) diagnostic and prognostic biomarker assessment, and 5) multi-omics data integration. My ultimate career goal is to be an independently funded full-time professor with expertise in pediatric cardiovascular disease, who runs a lab that contributes to the treatment and prevention of heart failure, and who participates in the training and mentoring of a diverse set of budding researchers.
