Md. Shenuarin Bhuiyan · Shreveport, Louisiana
Dr. Md. Shenuarin Bhuiyan's lab at Louisiana State University focuses on understanding how a specific protein, Sigma 1 receptor, helps protect the heart under stress by regulating cell cleaning processes called macro-autophagy and mitophagy. The lab investigates the role of this receptor in heart failure to uncover new ways to treat the condition. Using genetically modified mice and advanced biochemical techniques, the lab aims to provide insights into the mechanisms that could lead to new therapies for heart diseases.
