Barry Michael Fine, MD, PHD

Barry Fine MD PhD is a physician scientist whose clinical and research interests center on cardiogenetics and molecular cardiology. His research utilizes stem cells and engineered human heart tissue to model cardiac disease for drug and gene therapy discovery. His lab is one of the main sites of the NIH funded tissue engineering resource center (www.nextgenterc.com) whose mission is to improve disease modeling across all organs by advancing tissue engineering. Using these cutting-edge methods, Dr. Fine has active research areas involving heart attacks (myocardial infarction), inherited disease of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathies) and nov...
