Prof. Fabio A. Recchia directs a laboratory in Italy, where his group is testing new biological
therapies in pig models of myocardial infarction and hibernated myocardium, and a laboratory in
the USA focused on the pathogenic role of cardiac metabolic alterations in a canine model of
congestive heart failure. His main expertise is in integrative cardiovascular physiology and
pathophysiology.
