Vikram Shettigar

Vikram Shettigar's research focuses on the molecular biology of the heart, particularly how proteins and RNA molecules involved in heart muscle contraction and remodeling contribute to conditions like heart failure and obesity-related metabolic disease. This work spans basic laboratory studies (such as engineered heart proteins) to larger animal models of heart failure, aiming to understand disease mechanisms at a cellular level. The research is relevant to students interested in cardiovascular physiology, molecular cardiology, or RNA biology.

Publication output has declined from a peak of about 8 papers per year in 2017 to a steadier but lower pace of 2-3 papers per year in recent years.
