Wilhelm Röll

Prof. Wilhelm Röll is a Professor at the University of Bonn, affiliated with the Heart Center (Herzzentrum) at the University Hospital Bonn. His research focuses on cardiac cell therapy and preventing post-infarct ventricular arrhythmias. Collaborating with the Institute of Physiology I, his work explores strategies to improve cell engraftment and electrophysiological properties of myocardial scars using Connexin43 overexpression and magnetic nanoparticle technologies.

Research Interests: Cardiac cell therapy, ventricular arrhythmias, myocardial repair, and electrophysiological modulation. His studies bridge clinical cardiac surgery with translational research, aiming to enhance heart function post-infarction.

Publications highlight advancements in cell-based therapies and biomaterial applications. Current projects emphasize optimizing cell engraftment and reducing arrhythmias through innovative biological and engineering approaches.

Labs/Teams: Active within the Heart Center and TRA Life and Health at the University of Bonn, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across cardiology, physiology, and engineering.
