Dr. Sepe received his PhD in Physiology from the University of Wisconsin, where he studied mechanisms of cardioprotection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. He then completed an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship in Cardiovascular Medicine at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, OR. During his fellowship, he studied how sympathetic reinnervation of the myocardium following myocardial infarction alters the inflammatory response and impacts arrhythmia susceptibility. He is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, where he directs the MS in Physiology graduate program and teaches medical physiology across a variety of programs.
