After receiving a BSE Degree from Duke University in Biomedical Engineering, he obtained a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins and completed postdoctoral training at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Eric joined the Mount Sinai faculty in 2006 and established a laboratory that investigates cardiac calcium signaling, mechanisms of arrhythmias, and cardiovascular pharmacology. His group combines mechanistic mathematical modeling with quantitative physiological experiments to understand normal and abnormal cardiac physiology and how drugs may improve function. Photo courtesy of Nora McLaughlin.
