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.
