Biography

Colleen E. Clancy is a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology at UC Davis. She holds the Arline Miller Rolkin Professorship in Health Innovation and serves as the Associate Dean for Faculty Development. With a strong focus on developing computational approaches, her research aims to uncover the mechanisms underlying excitability in the heart and brain. The Clancy Lab is dedicated to understanding the pathophysiology of electrically based syndromes such as arrhythmia and epilepsy. These studies involve intricate mathematical modeling and high-performance computing to create detailed representations of excitable tissues. Their work seeks to understand the systemic electrical disorders and provide valuable insights into complex interactions that contribute to disease states. Clancy's research extends into building predictive models for pharmacological interventions in arrhythmias, striving toward improved methodologies for diagnosis and treatment. She is affiliated with Graduate Groups in Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering.
