Home Research People Publications Families Our Mission We seek to understand the genetic and molecular causes of sudden cardiac death predisposing-diseases so that we can identify and treat those at risk What We Study Heritable Arrythmias Electrical abnormalities of the heart that can run in families Cardiomyopathies Disease of the heart muscle Unexplained Sudden Deaths Sudden deaths of children and young adults that are unexplained after an autopsy Malformations of the Heart Structural abnormalities of the heart Our Methods Families & Patients We work with patients and families to advance the frontier of knowledge DNA Patient-based genetic studies and discovery iPSC Patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells to study how cardiac disease develops and how best to treat it Mouse Models Humane use of genetic mouse models to learn about the hearts of our patients Electrophysiology Studying the flow of electricity in single cells, or model animals, to learn how arrhythmias develop Collaboration Bringing together and working with experts from other fields to advance knowledge The Landstrom Lab is part of the Duke University School of Medicine and Duke Children’s Hospital Twitter Mail-bulk
