Research summary
AI-generated

Nancy S. Saad's research focuses on the mechanics and molecular biology of heart muscle, particularly how heart failure alters the contraction and relaxation properties of cardiac tissue at the cellular and molecular level. Her work includes studies on proteins like titin and enzymes like protein kinase A/C that regulate heart muscle contraction, as well as effects of thyroid hormone on cardiac function and use of stem cells and imaging techniques in heart disease research.
