About

Shoichiro Ono works in Heart Failure & Transplant affiliated with Emory University.

Shoichiro Ono is an associate professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and the Department of Cell Biology at Emory University School of Medicine. His research investigates the regulation of actin cytoskeletal dynamics during cellular events, particularly in muscle biology using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model. He studies actin mutations equivalent to those found in human cardiomyopathy to understand abnormal actin aggregation in striated muscle.
