This researcher studies how cells maintain and repair their internal membranes and energy-producing structures (mitochondria), particularly in muscle and heart tissue, and how defects in these repair systems contribute to diseases like muscular dystrophy, heart injury, and kidney damage. A major focus has been on a protein called MG53, which appears to help protect and repair cell membranes and mitochondria during stress such as reduced blood flow (ischemia) or physical damage, with implications for cardiac protection, tissue regeneration, and cancer biology. Other work touches on calcium signaling channels in heart and muscle cells, autophagy (the cell's internal recycling process), and models for testing drugs related to kidney and metabolic conditions.

Publication output peaked around 2017 and 2021 but has generally slowed over the past several years, averaging about 2.6 papers per year in the last five years.
