Scientists Transform Beating Heart Stem Cells Into Brain Cells
By turning off a single gene, University of Virginia researchers and their collaborators caused stem cells already becoming heart...
Heart function and failure are controlled by complex molecular networks that are just beginning to be mapped. The CSBG combines computational modeling and experiments to discover molecular networks that control cardiac remodeling and regeneration.
Specific research focus areas include cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and death, extra-cellular matrix remodeling by fibroblasts and macrophages, and cardiomyocyte proliferation.

Jeffrey Saucerman has joined the top 2% of medical and biological engineering professionals.
We are based in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Virginia. Our group is a diverse mixture of graduate students, undergraduate students, post-docs and research specialists.
Group Members and ContactWe are discovering the molecular networks that control cardiac remodeling, through a combination of systems modeling and experiments.
