Mark Tan’s Expertise - Developing a gel system to identify the phosphorylation of myosin binding protein-C (MyBPC) and myosin light chain 2 (MLC2) in cardiac and skeletal muscle fibers. - Both of these proteins are phosphorylated with activity and we suspect they are important in muscle fatigue and age induced changes in function in both skeletal and heart cells. - Further developing a mechanism to phosphorylate myosin light chain 2 to obtain varying levels of phosphorylation on a individual muscle fiber. Responsible for making, running, and silver-staining gels. - Assisted in assessing the functional and mechanical properties of single cardiac cells (myocyte heart cells) and their adaptation to exercise training. Cells were mounted between a force transducer and motor arm and physiological parameters such as force and velocity were measured. Assessed differences between control and trained hearts, such as alterations due to exercise training, and elucidate the cellular causes of fatigue - Course Contributor to BIOL 8957-102: Seminar in Physiology: Heart Disease Molecular Cell Studies Seminar course in Cardiac Muscle with an emphasis on disease alterations for Biological Sciences majors, Master of Science, or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) candidates. - Conducted statistical and background investigations which examined if any baseline characteristics existed that can predict a poor procedural response to BAV - Reviewed the medical records of seventy-four patients that underwent BAV using PowerChart and EPIC patient databases to develop risk models based on INTERMACS and euroSCORE patient data - Took a leadership role in statistical facets of the project, requiring meticulous communication with physicians and a unique opportunity to apply clinical research to the bedside - Manuscript and abstract writing contribution PUBLICATIONS/ABSTRACTS Cheung M, Tempelhof M, Tan M, Beohar N.
