Cardiac lineage specification in development and disease

Cardiac lineage specification in development and disease

Biography

During my first postdoc with Sylvia Evans (UCSD), I studied the origins of cardiac fibroblasts during development and in heart failure notably using genetic lineage tracing in mice. Following this, I joined Michel Puceat's group in Marseille where I focused on more epigenetic aspects of cardiac lineage specification, using approaches such as cardiac differentiation of stem cells and single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) to understand the role of NIPBL (required for chromatin structure regulation) in cardiogenesis. My current and future projects involve studying the epigenome of cardiac fibroblasts and their role in cardiac regeneration.
