Julio A. Copello, Ph.D. Assistant Professor telephone: 217-545-2207 jcopello@siumed.edu |
| Research Interests We study the process of intracellular calcium signaling in muscle and heart physiology. In these tissues, large and transient increases in cytosolic calcium are regularly induced by excitatory processes. This calcium then triggers the contractile machinery as required for the heartbeat or for the muscle twitch. Read More > |
