Our research focuses on the application of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes for disease modelling and drug screening. Research topics include:
Stem cell cardiac biology
Cardiotoxicity induced by anti-cancer and anti-viral treatment
Mitochondria and metabolism
Precision medicine: using patient specific cardiomyocytes to investigate cardiac disorders
Omics technology for cardiac maturation and disease modelling
