• the genetic determinants of cardiac morphogenesis through the study of model organisms
• the diagnosis and non-invasive evaluation of cardiovascular anomalies in fetuses and children
• genetic contributions to graft and patient outcomes in heart transplantation
• fetoscopic surgery to repair heart defects before birth
