معرفی
Dr. Eddy Kizana is a Senior Lecturer in Medicine at the University of Sydney's Westmead Clinical School, specializing in Cardiology and Cardiovascular Research. His affiliations include the Westmead Clinical School and collaborations across multiple disciplines within the University. His research focuses on cardiovascular diseases, gene therapy applications for arrhythmias, and molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac dysfunction. Key themes include Obesity, Diabetes, and Healthy Ageing, with a strong emphasis on translational research.
- Research Interests:
- Cardiac arrhythmia mechanisms and treatments
- Gene therapy for cardiac repair
- Cardiac fibrosis and remodelling
- Therapeutic delivery systems for heart disease
His recent publications highlight advancements in gene vector engineering, arrhythmia substrate characterization, and translational models for cardiac regeneration. Current research students are investigating novel gene therapies for cardiac arrhythmias and catheter ablation strategies.
Grants and collaborations include projects on atrial cardiomyopathy phenotyping (NSW Health), bioengineered antiarrhythmic models (MRFF), and cardiac gene therapy vectors (NHMRC). His work bridges basic science with clinical applications, addressing gaps in cardiac disease management.
