Monte S. Willis studies how heart and muscle tissues maintain healthy protein levels and how failures in these processes contribute to heart disease. A major focus is the ubiquitin-proteasome system and specific enzymes (such as MuRF1) that tag and break down proteins, along with how these pathways affect cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, and muscle wasting. The work also extends to metabolomics-based studies of how cancer drugs affect the heart and other organs.
