The Campbell lab helps patients with heart failure by seeking sarcomere level therapies. We are part of Physiology at the University of Kentucky.
The Campbell lab at the University of Kentucky seeks sarcomere level therapies for heart failure. You can learn more about this medical condition by reading http://http://www.campbellmusclelab.org/Heart-failure-101
Our experiments integrate biophysical, biochemical, and computational techniques and we collaborate extensively with cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiologists.
Many of our experiments use tissue samples isolated from patients undergoing heart transplants and other cardiac surgeries. Our cardiac biobank now contains ~2000 samples from more than 120 patients and organ donors.
We are part of the Department of Physiology in the College of Medicine and we are also proud members of the Center for Muscle Biology.
Our mission is to help patients who have heart failure by bridging the scientific gaps between molecular, cellular and organ-level function.
