T. Alexander Quinn is a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Dalhousie University, focusing on cardiac function and its intrinsic regulation. His research emphasizes the mechano-electric interactions that affect heart rhythm. The laboratory aims to define autoregulatory mechanisms that respond to both physiological and pathological conditions, and to understand their relevance to heart rhythms in health and disease. A key objective is to develop targeted anti-arrhythmic therapies based on these insights. The group employs a multi-scale, multi-species approach, studying whole animals and isolated tissues from human, rabbit, mouse, and zebrafish. This innovative research combines advanced engineering methods with computational modeling to gain insights into normal and diseased cardiac functions, addressing levels of structural complexity both functionally and experimentally.
