Support and Facilities

      Research is supported through grants to affiliated faculty. Funding agencies include : NIH, AHA, VA, Whitaker Foundation and NSF. A number of projects are funded through industrial support (pharmaceutical and device-related studies). Facilities include state-of-the-art laboratories for cellular and subcellular electrophysiology, optical mapping of action potentials, cellular imaging (e.g. intracellular calcium), multi-electrode mapping of cardiac electrical activity, theoretical and computer simulations, and clinical facilities for electrophysiology studies and arrhythmia treatment during cardiac catheterization and surgery.
