The Prosser lab is a tight knit group of devoted scientists with a like-minded approach to research. We come from diverse scientific backgrounds, with training in cell biology, physiology, engineering, and biophysics, but are unified by a fascination with the inner workings of the cell and the chance to discover something new each day. We pride ourselves on using innovative, challenging approaches to gain insight into physiology and pathology. We believe if it’s not hard, it’s probably not worth doing. And while the mission of the lab is to identify novel targets for the treatment of heart and brain disease, we believe that much of the fun to be had along the path to translation lies in the discovery.
