Zhinuo Jenny Wang awarded JGP poster prize at Gordon Research Conference (2019) - Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms

Posted 25/04/2019
Zhinuo Jenny Wang has been awarded a post-doc runner-up poster award sponsored by the Journal of General Physiology at the recent Gordon Research Conference on Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms (31 March - 5 April 2019). She also gave an oral presentation at the satellite Gordon Research Seminar on the same study. Her poster was on modelling the electrophysiology of disopyramide drug action on HCM myocardium at both cellular and whole-ventricular scales. This work was supervised by Dr Alfonso Bueno-Orovio, and the study was done in collaboration with Raffaele Coppini, Lorenzo Santini, and Elisabetta Cerbai from NeuroFarBar, the University of Florence.

We have a vacancy for two full-time Research Associates to work within the Computational Cardiovascular Science Team until 31 January 2024. We are looking for highly motivated scientists to conduct research within the Computational Cardiovascular Science Team (www.cs.ox.ac.uk/ccs). We welcome applications both from junior and senior postdoctoral scientists.

Under the supervision of Professor Blanca Rodriguez (Professor of Computational Medicine), you will have responsibility for carrying out impactful research at the interface of cardiology and computational modelling and simulation science, within a research programme on “Human in silico clinical trials in post-myocardial infarction”. You will work in close collaboration with our clinical and industrial partners, and other members of the team. We will support your career development, through supporting your scientific work, and also through attendance to conferences, student supervision and supporting applications for personal fellowships, as appropriate.
