Biography
Guy Salama completed his PhD in Biophysics and Biochemistry and a postdoctroal fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a pioneer in the development of optical probes of membrane potential, high spatial and temporal-resolution imaging of electrical activity and Ca2+ transients and the elucidation of arrhyhtmia mechanisms. Dr. Salama has made significant contributions to elucidate the mechanisms underlying sex differences in long QT-related arrhyhtmias and demonstrated the genomic modulation of cardiac ion channels by estrogen. He has published more than 125 papers in top-tiered journals and has served on numerous study sections for the NIH and the AHA.
