Scheduled Hours 40 Position Summary The Prabhu laboratory focuses on understanding the role of inflammation and the immune system in heart failure. The lab has uncovered evidence for broad immune dysregulation in heart failure that contributes to tissue injury and pathological cardiac remodeling, and ultimately to disease progression. These abnormalities encompass both the innate and adaptive immune systems and specific signaling pathways within immune cells. The laboratory uses animal models of both genetic and acquired heart failure to investigate mechanisms of disease. This requires the use of cardiac surgery, echocardiographic imaging, and hemodynamic assessment in mice, and the use of flow cytometric, histopathological, biochemical, and molecular approaches. We hope to use these findings to develop new immunomodulatory therapeutic strategies in experimental heart failure, with translation and correlation to human disease. Provides critically complex research and experimentation for division allowing the advancement of scientific analysis and discovery. Serves as a subject matter expert offering support, training and guidance relative to the discipline/area. May participate and/or present on the research developed, or the established work of those within the division.
