Professor Barbara Casadei FMedSci

Barbara Casadei’s is Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the British Heart Foundation. She has systematically acquired expertise in cellular electrophysiology and in vivo mouse models. Her work is tightly focused in terms of research question but impressively broad in terms of techniques employed. The alterations in neuronal nitric oxide synthase activity, and the ensuing defects in redox signalling and calcium regulation, described by her group have now been confirmed by others and hold promise for new treatments in both ventricular muscle and atrial muscle. Barbara’s personal qualities put her in great demand in efforts to promote translational research.
