Professor Dr. Ivan Moskowitz

Biography

Ivan Moskowitz is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Chicago, specializing in genetics and developmental biology. His research focuses on the genetic and genomic underpinnings of cardiac development and arrhythmias. The Moskowitz laboratory is dedicated to studying gene regulatory networks with an emphasis on cardiac biology, particularly in relation to congenital heart disease and cardiac conduction. Their work has significantly contributed to understanding the roles of various genes and regulatory elements in heart development. Ivan's team has pioneered the identification of non-coding RNAs that act as modulators of enhancer function, leading to crucial insights into the molecular logic governing biological processes. The lab's research has unveiled essential genetic factors involved in cardiac morphogenesis and arrhythmogenesis, contributing to the field's knowledge of congenital heart disease and the genetic basis of cardiac arrhythmias.
