The goal of the Espinoza-Fonseca group is to understand the molecular basis for the regulation and dysregulation of calcium transport in the heart, and to design effective molecular therapies to treat heart failure and arrhythmias. We approach these multidisciplinary problems with a combination of experimental techniques and computational methods.
