Steven Jones, Ph.D., FAHA, Professor of Medicine, University Scholar, Director, Diabetes and Obesity Center

Research Interests

1. Understanding the mechanisms of cardiac muscle damage during a heart attack and developing novel therapeutics to preserve the heart
2. Elucidating the molecular regulation of cardiac hypertrophy and the transition to heart failure
3. Investigating the confounding influence of risk factors (such as diabetes) on the development of heart disease

In all such endeavors, the laboratory group invokes a multidisciplinary approach to answer important questions in a variety of in vivo and in vitro models. My laboratory is also dedicated to providing a fertile environment for students and fellows to gain the necessary experience and guidance to become independent investigators.

Steven Jones is also working as Principal Investigator of the Center for Excellence in Diabetes and Obesity Research, Kentucky.
