Biography
My research interests focus on the mechanisms and regulation of muscle contraction. I jointed the Laboratory of Muscle Biophysics in 2009. My current research project is to build and set up instrumentation, computer controlled with LabVIEW software, for investigation of the myofibril contractile dynamics, and applied this technique to the study of myopathic heart muscle and transgenic mouse models.
