Larry F. Lemanski is 'Distinguished Research Professor' and Director of the Biomedical Institute for Regenerative Research (BIRR) at
Research
His main research interests concern a study of myofibrillogenesis and heart inductive processes in developing embryonic hearts at the cell and molecular levels. He has studied cardiac mutant axolotls, transgenic mice, and induced pluripotent adult stem cells. His goals have been to elucidate the sequence of events and mechanism(s) of myofibrillogenesis and to explain how inductive interactions direct heart differentiation at the cellular and gene levels. He is known for discovering unique and specific ribonucleic acids (RNAs) that have the capacity to promote cardiac myofibrillogenesis in non-muscle cells. He is pursuing the mechanism of this exciting and intriguing phenomenon and we are exploring inducing heart muscle repair in hearts damaged from disease processes such as myocardial infarctions (heart attacks).
