Department of Medicine Labs
The Joseph Moore Laboratory of Cardiac Extracellular Matrix
Our lab studies the cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM), the heart's 3D scaffold and signaling hub, to uncover how ECM biology shapes development, stress responses, and heart failure, and to identify ECM targets for new heart-failure therapies.
Ekuban Laboratory of Environmental Hepatology And Toxicology (ELEHAT)
ELEHAT studies how environmental pollutants like PFAS worsen alcohol-associated and metabolic liver disease, combining toxicology, molecular biology, and translational models to uncover modifiable risk factors for prevention and treatment.
