Welcome to Dr. Ho!

A belated welcome to Dr. Hsiang-Ting Ho! Hsiang-Ting joined the lab in April as a post-doctoral associate.  She was previously working with Dr. Sandor Györke at The Ohio State University, where her research focused on calcium signaling, reactive oxygen species, and other factors that underlie the beneficial effects of parasympathetic stimulation in human heart failure.
