$6.4 million supports studies of cardiac muscle function in heart failure

Michael J. Greenberg, PhD, an associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biophysics at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has received two grants totaling almost $6.4 million to investigate the complex roles of troponin — a critical protein in the heart — in various forms of heart failure. In particular, Greenberg’s research will focus on heart failure caused by genetic variations that lead to changes in troponin’s structure.
