Scott P. Levick, PhD

Assistant Professor
Department of Pharmacology
and Toxicology
Cardiovascular Center

I moved from Australia to the United States in 2005. My research has two main areas of focus: 1) the role of the sensory nerve neuropeptide substance P in adverse myocardial remodeling and heart failure; and 2) the role of mast cells in adverse myocardial remodeling and heart failure. My laboratory uses rat and mouse models of pressure and volume overload-induced heart failure, as well as cell culture studies utilizing isolated cardiac fibroblasts and mast cells.
