The next Distinguished Scientist Seminar at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine will be presented by Dr. William Stanley, professor of cardiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

His lecture, titled “Role of Mitochondria in the Cardiac Physiology and Disease,” will take place March 31, 2011, at 4 p.m. in the Medical Sciences Building auditorium.

Dr. Stanley’s research addresses questions regarding the role of substrate metabolism and diet in the pathophysiology of heart failure and acute ischemic events using broad systems approach.
