Dr. Michael Rubart is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Indiana University Indianapolis. He completed his MD from the University of Bonn in 1984 and postdoctoral Training from the Technical University of Aachen in 1990. He worked as a Research Fellow at the Krannert Institute of Cardiology, Indiana University School of Medicine during 1991–1992 and in the laboratory of Dr. Mark T. Nelson at the University of Vermont during 1993–1994. In 1994, he joined the Krannert Institute of Cardiology, Indiana University School of Medicine as an Assistant Scientist. His research interests include imaging of Ca2+- and voltage-dynamics in the living heart using two-photon fluorescence microscopy; cellular electrophysiology using microelectrode and patch-clamp techniques; assessment of donor-host cell electromechanical coupling in living heart; electrical coupling between cardiomyocytes and myofibroblasts in the diseased heart; 3D reconstruction of the cardiac sympathetic nervous system; generation of genetically engineered reporter mice; arrhythmogenic mechanisms in a mouse model of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycrdia associated with mutations in the Calm1 gene.
