Victor Alencar Almeida

Graduate Student

Victor is a PhD candidate in the Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Physiology program. His research interests include the mechanistic interactions between Calmodulin/CaMKII and Ryanodine receptors in cardiac health and disease. He received his BS in Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. His skillset consists of FRET-based molecular imaging, Ca imaging and confocal microscopy imaging. On his free time, Victor balances a mix of Rock N Roll and paw patrol. So, when he is not headbanging to Metallica tunes, he is busy being a dad to his cats Lulu and Tito.
