T. Alexander Quinn is a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Dalhousie University's School of Biomedical Engineering. His research focuses on cardiac autoregulation and arrhythmias, particularly the intrinsic regulation of cardiac function and the effects of mechano-electric interactions on heart rhythm. His laboratory aims to define organ-to-subcellular autoregulatory mechanisms in response to (patho-)physiological conditions, and to discover the relevance of heart rhythm to health and disease. Furthermore, he applies insights to develop novel targeted anti-arrhythmic therapies. His work employs a multi-scale and multi-species approach, involving research in whole animals as well as isolated tissues and cell preparations from humans, rabbits, mice, and zebrafish. Through innovative engineering-based experimental methods and computational modeling, Quinn looks to gain insights into normal and diseased cardiac functions across varying levels of functional and structural complexity.
