Congratulations to Alex Ochs on the publication of his most recent original research paper as lead-author in the CardSS Lab. The paper appears in Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering in a special issue celebrating 2023’s CMBE Young Innovators (including Pat!) [PMCID link here]
In this study, we examine how light stimulation of optogenetic proteins might be a feasible way to suppress triggered arrhythmias induced by ectopic cell-scale excitation (early afterdepolarizations). Getting all of the moving pieces to line up for this study was a Herculean task, congratulations Alex!
