The Friedberg experimental lab investigates mechanisms of right ventricular dysfunction, fibrosis, mechano-transduction and ventricular-ventricular interactions in in vivo <\/em>and in vitro<\/em> models of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular pressure and volume loading. We investigate how to harness these mechanisms for therapeutic benefit. We use a diverse tool-kit including animal models, high-frequency echocardiography, conductance catheter hemodynamics, immunohistochemistry, tissue and cell-culture studies and genetically modified animal and cell models.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
