I suspect like many of you, I have been struggling to come to grips with what is happening in our country right now. I am disgusted, frustrated, and angry. The many acts of good we are seeing in response to the injustices, however, give me hope that we can figure out how to
tackle
these problems in a positive and proactive manner.
I am proud to be part of a community that is addressing these issues head-on in a variety of ways. For instance, our colleagues at the School of Medicine hosted a #WhiteCoatsForBlackLives demonstration in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and our office is involved in planning and executing an upcoming Webinar called Yale Engage: Social, Economic, and Policy Implications Beyond COVID that will also address racial injustice.
We must do better. I, for one, will keep trying.

Overview of your current project
Our work focuses on the function of heart muscle in health and disease. On the more fundamental side, we are studying how cardiac muscle cells respond to mechanical loading - how varying conditions shape their size and behavior. These questions are important for understanding how the heart develops and will also aid scientists as they seek to grow mature cardiac cells for applications in regenerative medicine. In terms of disease, we are actively exploring the detailed causes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and inherited heart condition that leads to elevated risk of heart failure and sudden death. We have developed a method for creating human engineered heart tissue from patient-specific stem cell lines, allowing us to measure very precisely the physiological effects of mutations on muscle performance. These unique data are allowing us to understand in greater detail the mechanisms of disease, with the goal of generating effective treatments.
