The Department of Physiology at Amsterdam UMC studies (patho)mechanisms of the cardiovascular system. In our department, a series of group leaders (PI’s, Principal Investigators) supervises different, but closely related research lines. Within these teams, we train a large number of undergraduate- and PhD students and post-docs. In addition, a group of skilled technicians supports our research.
Key expertise of the department lies in the functional studies on (cardio)myocytes and microvascular (lung) endothelial cells. We use in vitro and in vivo models, iPS-derived cardiomyoctes and -endothelial cells and invest in advanced 3D models, such as microvessels-on-chip and engineered heart tissue.
