Research Interests

The long-term goal of the Sadayappan Lab involves 1) elucidating the causes of muscle-specific diseases at the molecular level and 2) identifying therapeutic targets that will lead to the development of effective cures. The more specific objectives involve determining the up- and downstream regulators of sarcomere structure and function of both cardiac and skeletal muscles in health and disease.
