The Laboratory of Steven P. Jones, Ph.D.

Steven P. Jones, Ph.D.

 Associate Professor and University Scholar


Postdoctoral Fellow - Cardiology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD

Ph.D. in Physiology, LSU Health Sciences Center, Shreveport, LA

 

This laboratory has several areas of interest, including:

  •  Understanding the mechanisms of cardiac muscle damage during a heart attack and developing novel therapeutics to preserve the heart.
  •  Elucidating the molecular regulation of cardiac hypertrophy and the transition to heart failure.
  •  Investigating the confounding influence of risk factors (such as diabetes) on the development of heart disease.

In all such endeavors, this group invokes a multidisciplinary approach to answer important questions in a variety of in vivo and in vitro models.  Dr. Jones' laboratory is also dedicated to providing a fertile environment for students and fellows to gain the necessary experience and guidance to become independent investigators.
