Lucia Moreira

Postdoctoral Researcher

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, and hold a DPhil in Medical Sciences.

My research focuses on the molecular mechanisms driving atrial fibrillation (AF). Despite its prevalence, the structural and electrical remodelling underlying AF remains incompletely understood. My work aims to identify key pathways involved in AF-related remodelling and uncover potential therapeutic targets.

A central aspect of my research is investigating the role of the hormone Calcitonin, the calcitonin receptor (CTR) and its downstream signalling pathways in atrial remodelling and arrhythmogenesis. By advancing our understanding of calcitonin signalling and atrial remodelling, we aim to support the development of targeted therapies that could improve patient outcomes and reduce the global burden of AF.
