Research Profile
The research of Roberta Gottlieb, MD, focuses on myocardial ischemia and cardioprotection. Her focus is on mitochondria and autophagy, using biochemistry, microscopy, and molecular physiology tools in cell, rodent, and porcine models to understand and mitigate ischemic injury with a goal of developing therapeutics for use in humans.
