Michael Rubart studies the electrical activity of the heart and the causes of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). A major focus is calmodulinopathy, a condition where mutations in the calmodulin protein disrupt calcium signaling and cause dangerous rhythm disorders, along with how the heart's nervous system and ion channels shape heartbeat regulation. The work spans genetic models in mice, drug and antisense therapies, and cell-based and light-controlled (optogenetic) approaches to studying and repairing heart tissue.
