The research activity is focused on the biological basis of inherited cardiomyopathies. To this aim we use various approaches, ranging from genetic and genomic analyses (experimental and computational alike) to the use of in vitro and in vivo models. In particular, we study mutations and genomic variations involved in different inherited cardiomyopathies, both to identify novel disease genes and to elucidate their molecular pathogenesis. These studies are carried out with in silico genome-wide approaches, with in vitro cell culture models, and with in vivo murine disease models.
