Lorien Salyer

Lorien Salyer studies how tiny chemical modifications to heart proteins—particularly troponin I and PKA—affect how the heart muscle contracts and relaxes, both in health and disease. Much of this work uses mouse models to test how specific protein modification sites influence cardiac function, with an eye toward finding new ways to treat heart failure. Earlier work also touched on the genetics of inherited heart muscle diseases (dilated cardiomyopathy).

Publication output has been modest but fairly steady over the last decade, rising slightly from about 1 paper per year in 2017-2020 to roughly 2 per year in recent years.
