- Robert Ross Lab
Our Research
The Ross Lab focuses on understanding the fundamental basis of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.
Our investigations center on the role of proteins that bridge the extracellular environment to the interior of cells, with particular emphasis on cell-cell and cell-matrix proteins critical for function of cardiac myocytes.
Postdoctoral positions are available.
