Lucia Moreira

Lucia Moreira is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford's Medical Sciences Division. She is affiliated with Wolfson College and the Reilly Group, which focuses on molecular signalling in adverse myocardial remodelling and fibrosis.

Dr. Moreira holds a DPhil in Medical Sciences and investigates molecular mechanisms of atrial fibrillation (AF), emphasizing calcitonin receptor signalling pathways in atrial remodelling. Her work aims to identify therapeutic targets to mitigate AF progression and improve patient outcomes through advanced understanding of structural and electrical remodelling processes.

Recent publications reveal a multidisciplinary research trajectory spanning single-nucleus multi-omics, aging-related AF mechanisms, genetic variants in arrhythmias, and protease-mediated heart failure pathways. This work bridges molecular cardiology with translational applications, particularly in fibrosis and electrical remodelling.

Dr. Moreira collaborates within the Reilly Group framework and may co-supervise students on projects related to cardiac remodelling. Research funding likely derives from major UK bodies including the British Heart Foundation and Medical Research Council, supporting investigations into novel therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases.

The Reilly Group provides a dynamic research environment focused on molecular signalling pathways in cardiac pathology, offering opportunities for collaboration in fibrosis, remodelling, and arrhythmia mechanisms.
