Research Interests:
Basic cardiac electrophysiology and pharmacology, using patch clamp methods to study individual cardiac ion channels and their modulation by drugs and structure-function relatioonships. Clinical research projects at various times, usually related to drug therapy for cardiovascular disorders including arrhythmias, heart failure and ischaemic heart disease. Research Program: Biophysics and Pharmacology of Cardiac Ion Channels. This work is carried out in laboratories on the St Vincents campus (Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute) and now largely directed and supervised by Assoc Professor Jamie Vandenberg
