Stuart Taylor, a biologist whose research focuses on cardiac muscle function, has been named a distinguished professor of biological sciences at Hunter College, City University of New York. Taylor, 53, comes to Hunter from the Mayo Medical School and Graduate School of Medicine at the University of Minnesota, where he was a professor of physiology, specializing in biophysics and pharmacology.

Taylor earned his doctorate in biology from New York University in 1966. As a postdoctoral researcher, he worked in London with Nobel laureate Sir Andrew Huxley.

Taylor has developed a high-speed imaging system called CAMERA (Computer-Assisted Measurements of Excitation-Response Activities), which allows him to record microscopic images of muscle cell contractions in one-thousandth of a second or faster. The images are analyzed by a computer and stored for later study. He has brought this system with him to Hunter, where it is part of ...
