I want to do research in areas of hepatitis c or cardio-electrophysiology modeling. Does anyone know of research professors who are currently involved in these areas? Response would be greatly appreciated.
 
Depends on the type of research you want to do. If you want to do basic science benchtop research I'm not sure that there is a lab that does just hepatitis C research. But there would definitely be clinicians that have interest in hepatitis and have some research projects going on. There is definitely cardioelectrophysiology research going on at Mayo.

Here is what I suggest you do: start by looking at the list of clinicans at Mayo (available with this link , find a medical department (such as Infectious Disease or Cardiovascular Diseases) then click List of Doctors then click each individual physician. It will list their research intersets and a link to their articles on pubmed. It may take a while as there are 30+ ID physicians and 100+ cardiologists at Mayo but you shoudl find someone with interests in your areas of interest.

For information on basic science research labs at Mayo check the research web page.

Good luck. It is very easy to get involved in reasearch at Mayo in almost area. The difficult part is finding the time to do something.

Not to sound harsh, but wouldn't it be better to do some research into that field and see for yourself what researchers there are at Mayo? I mean connections are great and everything, but if I was a clinical/lab PI and I had med students interested in participating in my work, I would be interested in the self-motivated-start-from-scratch person.

But hey, the prickley sting of reality is that networking and connections help.

Good luck!
 
Cardiac electrophysiology is an awfully large subject - is there a particular topic you're interested in (like instrumentation, molecular biology, pathology of disease, treatment, etc...)? Other than that, nicholonios is kind of right. I wouldn't base my decision on which medical school to attend based solely on their cardiac electrophysiology research, and I can't imagine any academic institution without a few cardiac electrophysiologists on staff doing research.
