Keynote Speaker
Dr. Andrew D. McCulloch, Ph.D.
Dr. McCulloch’s lab uses experimental and computational models to investigate the relationships between the molecular and cellular structure of cardiac muscle and the electrical and mechanical function of the whole heart during ventricular remodeling, heart failure and arrhythmia. Current interests include developing multi-scale models of myocyte excitation-contraction coupling mechanisms and their regulation by protein kinases. Dr. McCulloch’s lab is also designing new methods to generate patient-specific models of the failing heart for clinical use.
