Advisor

Dr. Jun Wang

Research Description

Dr. Truong's current project investigates molecular and genetic regulations underlying sinoatrial node (SAN) dysfunction (SND) during aging using human SAN-like cells derived from iPSCs/ESCs as in vitro models. He aims to develop innovative diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets for age-dependent SND.
