Research summary
AI-generated

Mona El Refaey's research focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), including how ion channels—proteins that control electrical signals in heart cells—are regulated and how their dysfunction contributes to disease. Her work also touches on muscle physiology and, in earlier studies, metabolic effects on bone health. This research combines molecular biology and animal models to understand cardiac disease processes.
