Joanne Garbincius, PhD

Principal Investigator

Dr. Joanne Garbincius joined the University of Michigan as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology after completing graduate research with Dr. Daniel Michele on nitric oxide signaling in muscular dystrophy and post-doctoral studies with Dr. John Elrod on the mechanisms that mediate mitochondrial calcium efflux. She leads an interdisciplinary laboratory that investigates the fundamental mechanisms allowing striated muscle cells to meet their highly dynamic energy demands. This work spans from in vitro structure-function studies of individual proteins up to in vivo assessments of heart and skeletal muscle performance in genetic mouse models of human disease.
