Naranjan S Dhalla

St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre · company speakers →

Dr. Naranjan Dhalla is a leading expert in the field of heart research, with a focus on understanding the causes of cardiac dysfunction. He has made significant contributions to our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying heart disease, including the role of oxidative stress, changes in gene expression, and intracellular calcium overload. One of the key findings of Dr. Dhalla's research is the connection between oxidative stress and the development of ischemia-reperfusion injury, a major cause of heart disease. He has also shown that catecholamines, which are hormones produced in response to stress, can cause cardiac dysfunction and lethal arrhythmias. Using cutting-edge research techniques, Dr. Dhalla has shed light on the complex interactions between the heart, its cells, and the signaling pathways that govern its function. His work has identified new targets for drug development, offering hope for the development of more effective therapies for heart disease.
