Biography

Gregory E. Morley, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine and the Department of Neuroscience at New York University Grossman School of Medicine. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the initiation and maintenance of ventricular arrhythmias. By utilizing normal and transgenic mouse models, Morley investigates how disturbances in electrical current transmission and gap junction functionality impact heart rhythm and efficiency. His laboratory employs advanced imaging techniques to analyze electrical wave propagation at both cellular and macroscopic levels. Morley also leverages quantitative methods to define patterns of wave propagation and conduction velocity, particularly in hearts from adult, newborn, and embryonic mice. His investigative work addresses critical unanswered questions regarding the role of intercellular communication in various pathological conditions, including acute myocardial ischemia and atrial fibrillation.
