Focus of research

Investigation of ion transport processes across the plasma membrane of mammalian cardiac cells.  Patch-clamp technology and quantitative fluorescence microscopy are employed to answer the scientific questions.  The type of research questions we address pertain to the physiology and pathophysiology of cardiac disease.  In particular, arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease and heart failure.

Curriculum Vitae

Jan Hindrik Ravesloot (Amsterdam 1961) studied medicine (Leiden University, doctoraal examen 1986) and did his Ph.D work at Leiden University (1991). After a three-year post-doctoral period at Yale University (New Haven, CT, USA) he became assistant-professor at the Academic Medical Center-University of Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) Department of Physiology in 1993 and was promoted to full professor in 2001. He and his staff conduct research in ion transport processes in cardiac cells. He is actively involved in advancing (bio)medical (physiology) higher education. Since september 2008 he holds the director position of the Master School Life and Earth Sciences of the UvA Faculty of Science (FNWI).
