ONGOING RESEARCH SUPPORT

NIH RO1 HL072016       Rothermel (PI)                                                              12/13/2002 - 06/30/2013. Modulating Calcineurin Signaling Pathways in Muscle. The goal of this project is to decipher the mechanisms through which modulatory calcineurin-interacting proteins (MCIPs/RCANs) influence calcineurin signaling in heart and skeletal muscle.                     

NIH R01 HL097768    Rothermel (PI)                                                            09/01/2009 - 08/31/2013        Calcineurin's role in circadian regulation of cardiac function and remodeling.  The goal of this grant is to study circadian regulation of signaling pathways that control cardiac function.
