Research Summary
The Umapathi Lab is dedicated to discovering and altering mechanisms that lead to heart failure. We study how the modification of cardiac proteins intersects with cardiac metabolism and energetics leading to the development of cardiac dysfunction. We use novel tools for cardiac contractility and arrhythmia to perform molecular phenotyping in both acquired (diabetic, ischemic, hypertensive, metabolic) or inherited forms of heart disease. Our goal is to identify novel heart failure targets, refine heart failure diagnostic platforms and develop translational therapeutics to advance care for patients.

Dr Umapathi is an excellent provider. She took time with me, listened genuinely to me and cared about my concerns. She is one of a few Doctors that takes time with each patient and in doing so made me feel as though I were important and a part of the process of healing.Her administrative assistant, [staff] is kind, informative and patient. I appreciate all of this so much.
