Rengasayee Veeraraghavan studies how the heart's electrical system works at the molecular and cellular level, focusing on the tiny channels that let sodium and calcium ions flow in heart cells and how these are organized at cell-to-cell junctions (intercalated discs). This work aims to explain how disruptions in this nanoscale organization lead to irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), including in conditions like diabetes, inflammatory heart disease, and COVID-19. Prospective students would likely engage with cardiac electrophysiology, molecular imaging, and computational or spatial analysis methods.

Publication output has grown substantially since 2017, rising from single digits to a peak around 2021-2023, with continued strong activity (including many 2025 conference abstracts) after a dip in 2024.
