David Hammers, Ph.D, is an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at the University of Florida. Research in his lab focuses on physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms of skeletal and cardiac muscle, particularly those associated with muscular dystrophies. The primary goal of his research is to identify potential therapeutic targets that can be leveraged to develop treatments for muscle and heart diseases using small molecules or AAV-based gene therapies.
