I am Sujoita Sen, a PhD student at the Lam lab, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Delaware. My research interest lies in the field of cardiac diseases. I believe that in order to better understand the pathology, it is key to get a clear picture of the physiology involved. Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) is a chaperone protein that has been implicated to play a key role in regulating a number of signaling pathways including ones that are relevant to maintenance of proper cardiac physiology and function. I am currently involved in elucidating the role of this chaperone molecule in the cardiac system, its interactome and the downstream signaling pathways regulated by it.
