Research area
AI-driven analysis of cardiomyocyte ageing and its progression to heart failure.
Biological pathway of focus
DNA → RNA → Protein dysfunction → Calcium handling dysregulation → Mitochondrial dysfunction → Cardiomyocyte dysfunction and ageing → Cardiomyopathy → Myocardial dysfunction → Heart failure
Why this pathway matters- Protein dysfunction precedes calcium mishandling, as ion channels and pumps are protein-driven.
- Calcium dysregulation forms a key bridge between molecular alterations and energetic failure.
- Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to ATP depletion, oxidative stress (ROS), and ageing phenotypes.
- These mechanisms converge into cardiomyopathy, myocardial dysfunction, and ultimately heart failure.

Research Project Details:
- Data Collection: Pre-collected Quantitative Approach and Collaborative Qualitative lab-based Data. Map cardiac electrophysiology data from optical mapping experiments on heart tissue. Fluorescence images indicative of voltage or calcium transients in cardiac tissue.
- The ElectroMap software, designed to process and analyze electrophysiological data, is a valuable tool for cardiac research. The Python-based version (ElectroMap-py) enhances its accessibility and functionality.
