Thomas J. Hund, Ph.D.
Associate

Dr. Hund's reseach interests include computer modeling of the cardiac action potential, calcium transient and intracellular signaling pathways, the role of CaMKII in electrical remodeling and arrhythmias post-infarction, and regulation of gap junctions and cell-cell communication during myocardial ischemia.
