A major focus of Dr. Dyck's research is the study of the molecular mechanisms involved in regulating cardiac energy metabolism and how this relates to ischemia/reperfusion injury, cardiac hypertrophy, and specific arrhythmias.

Dr. Dyck's research program is unique in that it links the molecular signaling field to cardiac energy metabolism. This has increased our understanding of the molecular basis of cardiac energy metabolism and has allowed a clearer understanding of highly relevant concerns such as ischemia/reperfusion injury, cardiac hypertrophy, and the formation of specific arrhythmias.
