Jonas Goldin Diness

Jonas Goldin Diness serves as a Guest Researcher at the Department of Biomedical Sciences within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Molecular Cardiology and Membrane Proteins. His research focuses on electrical arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation and LQT syndromes.

His primary research interests span cardiovascular pharmacology, cardiac electrophysiology, and molecular cardiology with emphasis on ion channel modulation. His experimental expertise includes advanced large animal models of atrial fibrillation, Langendorff perfused heart systems across multiple species, patch clamping techniques, and heterologous expression systems for ion channel studies.

His publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to cardiac electrophysiology research, particularly in SK channel inhibition therapeutics for atrial fibrillation. Recent work includes phase 1 and 2 clinical trials of novel potassium channel inhibitors and mechanistic studies of antiarrhythmic drug actions.

Diness actively serves on the boards of both the Industrial PhD Association and Industrial Postdoc Association since 2011 and 2013 respectively. As an ad hoc reviewer, he contributes to high-impact journals including Circulation, Heart Rhythm, and Hypertension.

His technical proficiency encompasses biostatistics, cardiovascular physiology, and pharmacological screening methods, with particular innovation in developing in vivo models for anti-atrial fibrillation drug candidates.
