Research summary
AI-generated

Fruzsina Perger studies the electrical activity of heart cells, focusing on how ion channels (proteins that control the flow of charged particles in and out of cells) and calcium handling contribute to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Recent work includes examining potassium channels called SK channels as a potential way to reduce dangerous calcium release in heart muscle cells in a genetic arrhythmia condition (CPVT), as well as earlier work on how cholesterol affects a voltage-sensitive potassium channel. This research is largely lab-based, using animal models and cellular electrophysiology techniques to understand the molecular basis of heart rhythm disorders.
