Nathalie GABORIT-TRICHEREAU

Through the analysis of transcriptional regulation, my research program aims to (1) decipher the mechanisms by which physiological cardiac electrical activity is established and maintained, and thus create a solid basis for (2) the study of the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias.
