This award funds research at Ohio State University to study the role of JNK kinase in postoperative atrial fibrillation, aiming to develop novel biomarkers and therapies for this common cardiac surgery complication.
Description
A NIH-funded research project focusing on atrial fibrillation and postoperative complications, with a focus on JNK kinase as a biomarker and therapeutic target. The project aims to identify JNK kinase as a biomarker and therapeutic target for postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF), exploring its role in atrial arrhythmogenesis and blood-borne JNK levels using biochemical and electrophysiological techniques on human and animal models.
