Imaging Heart Dynamics Lab
Jeffrey Ketterling · New York, New York
Research Focus
Dr. Jeffrey Ketterling's research lab focuses on improving imaging techniques to study heart diseases in mice. By developing advanced ultrasound technology, the lab aims to detect early signs of heart dysfunction before visible changes occur. This work is crucial for understanding how blood flow patterns affect heart health and could lead to better treatment approaches for patients suffering from heart disease.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
