Michael Broman

Biography

Michael Broman is a Assistant Professor of Medicine in the department of Cardiology from The University of Chicago       Dr. Broman’s academic research focus is on the role of developmental transcriptional regulators and other genetic factors in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation, a common abnormal heart rhythm affecting a large proportion of the general population. His laboratory utilizes animal models and human tissue studies to address questions regarding the roles of, primarily, the GATA4/FOG-2 axis in atrial fibrillation and cardiac failure.
