Location: Florida State University Alumni Center, 1030 W. Tennessee St., Tallahassee, FL 32304
 

This event will be to honor the work of Dr. P. Bryant Chase by bringing together scientists from various institutions to come together, share their scientific work, socialize, and celebrate. Our understanding of striated muscle regulation has been profoundly shaped by the work of Dr. P. Bryant Chase, who for more than four decades has dedicated his career to uncovering the mechanisms that govern striated muscle contractility. His research has shown how substrate dynamics influence myofilament function, how thin filament regulation and activation shape contraction, and how cardiomyopathic mutations disrupt these finely tuned processes. Beyond these scientific advances, Dr. Chase has been instrumental in integrating experimental techniques with mathematical modeling, allowing the scientific community to learn more about relevant aspects of striated muscle function.
