The Laboratory of Genetics and Molecular Cardiology is located at the Heart Institute (InCor), which is part of the largest medical center in Latin America, affiliated to the University of São Paulo Medical School, São Paulo, Brazil. The laboratory is 1,200 square meters wide and offers complete infrastructure for research and development (R&D) in genetics and molecular cardiology, funded by federal (FINEP/CNPq) and state (FAPESP) development agencies. In addition, we have access to several specialized core facilities, animal core and a clinical research center in the hospital and other centers at the Medical School. We use integrated bottom-up and top-down approaches to identify genetic determinants associated with cardiovascular diseases and development of novel therapeutic approaches for cardiac repair.
