Dr. Nathan R. Tucker's lab focuses on understanding how genetic variations contribute to cardiac arrhythmias, which are irregular heartbeats that can be life-threatening. His research aims to link these genetic variations to their biological mechanisms, potentially leading to new treatments. By using advanced techniques like CRISPR and single nucleus RNA sequencing, the lab investigates the genetic and molecular underpinnings of arrhythmias in heart tissue samples, paving the way for innovative therapeutic approaches.
