Cardiac Fibrosis and Atrial Fibrillation
I am a DPhil student in Medical Sciences with an interest in cardiovascular medicine and translational research. With a background in Biomedical Sciences and a Master's in Clinical Research, my work bridges fundamental science and clinical applications.
My DPhil research strives to decipher molecular mechanisms that drive fibrosis and structural remodelling in atrial fibrillation. In particular, I use human cardiac fibroblasts as a model to better understand their role in fibrogenesis. Beyond my core research, I contribute to a range of collaborative projects, including clinical biomarker studies, multiomics approaches (transcriptomics and proteomics), and miRNA biology.
My goal is to unravel the molecular landscape of atrial fibrillation and translate discoveries into novel therapeutic strategies for patients.
