Research Experience
  • Leading development of cardiac electrophysiology models for pro-arrhythmic risk assessment in safety pharmacology
  • Investigating models of drug action on ion channels, including conductance block, state-dependent, voltage-dependent, and allosteric block mechanisms
  • Designing and testing improved experimental protocols to enhance reliability of mathematical models at ion channel and whole-cell levels
  • Contributing to the Comprehensive in-vitro Pro-arrhythmia Assay (CiPA) initiative to improve drug safety evaluation in industry and regulatory policy
  • 2011–2012: Funded by GlaxoSmithKline Grants and Affiliates award to develop a simulation tool for pro-arrhythmic risk prediction
  • 2008–2011: Worked on the European Commission PreDiCT project on prediction of drug-induced cardiac toxicity
  • Collaborated with David Gavaghan, Blanca Rodriguez, and Denis Noble
