Michael Coronado is Associate Director in the Discovery Biology department at Cytokinetics with a specialty in cardiac physiology, mitochondrial biology, and sex differences. His major research interests are: (1) identify how the heart creates energy under healthy (e.g., exercise) vs. pathological (e.g., inflammation) conditions and (2) determine the role of sex differences in bioenergetic processes that modulate disease susceptibility. Coronado has expertise in cell and murine models and methodologies that assess mitochondrial function, morphology and signaling.
