Muscle Research Unit - Honours in 2010
An Honours project undertaken in this lab would be administered by the Discipline of Anatomy & Histology.
The dos Remedios laboratory engages in research in the following fields:
- Molecular defects in human heart failure;
- Effects of age on the molecular changes in non-failing human hearts;
- Analyzing leukocytes surface protein markers in Acute Coronary Syndrome;
- Detecting toxic chemicals in water; and
