Dr. Jeremy Simpson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Human Health Sciences at the University of Guelph. He specializes in classical physiology combined with proteomic techniques to study cardio-respiratory physiology and pathophysiology. His research focuses on the mechanisms underlying heart failure, which is a leading cause of premature death and long-term morbidity in Western society. One aspect of his research involves understanding how the heart adapts to conditions such as hypertension, where initial hypertrophy can become maladaptive, leading to contractile dysfunction and eventually heart failure. Dr. Simpson's lab seeks to identify the roles of skeletal and cardiomyocyte cell signaling in both normal and hypoxic conditions using innovative techniques to uncover novel cardiac proteins and hormones. His work also explores proteomic alterations related to exercise-induced muscle fatigue, shedding light on specific modifications that occur in muscle proteins during fatigue and ischemia. His dedication to advancing our understanding of cardiac health aims to lead to new treatment targets for heart failure.
