About the Lab

We investigate muscle development, signaling and maintenance, by studying the biological role of sarcomeric and muscle associated proteins. We are particularly interested to decipher molecular mechanisms that play a role in the development of cardiac and skeletal muscle myopathies.

The lab is active at the Department of Biomedicine at Aarhus University and Steno Diabetes Center in Denmark, and the School of Medicine at UC San Diego in the US.
