Specialisation
Cardiac evolution
Focus of research
My research focus is cardiac evolution from fish to man and I study expression of genes, development, anatomy and physiology. I am interested in the evolutionary conservation of the building plan of the heart, but also in the rich variation of cardiac chambers, septa and architecture.
