Robert Arnold Larson — Dr. Robert Arnold Larson's lab at Michigan Technological University studies hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is a common genetic heart disease linked to serious complications like sudden cardiac death. The lab aims to understand how dysfunctional sensory nerves in the heart contribute to disease progression and explore innovative therapies that could modify the disease. They use animal models to investigate the underlying mechanisms and test potential new treatments.
