The project „alternative splicing as a therapeutic target for cardiac diseases“ builds on our identification of RBM20 as a splice factor with substrates related to sarcomere function and calcium homeostasis. We will study the regulation of RBM20 expression and function, as well as its interaction with other proteins to identify potential therapeutic targets. Through the coordinated interference with cardiac isoform expression, we will adapt the elastic and electrical properties of the heart.
