About the role
The Dubois Laboratory at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai investigates the fundamental mechanisms of cardiac development, with a focus on understanding how the heart is built at the cellular and molecular level. Our research spans questions in cardiac progenitor specification, ventricular chamber morphogenesis, cardiomyocyte maturation, and congenital heart disease, using a combination of mouse genetics, stem cell models, and genomic and imaging technologies. We are a collaborative and collegial team passionate about uncovering the fundamental mechanisms that drive the formation and function of the heart. https://labs.icahn.mssm.edu/duboislab/
