معرفی
Dr. Munir Hussain is an Associate Professor at the University of Bradford, affiliated with the Faculty of Life Sciences and the School of Chemistry & Biosciences. His research focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating heart function, particularly ion transport through channels, exchangers, and pumps in cardiac myocytes.
- Former post-doctoral Research Associate at the Universities of Manchester and Leeds
- Intermediate British Heart Foundation Research Fellow
- University Lecturer at the University of Liverpool
Research Interests: Dr. Hussain investigates cardiac electrophysiology, including voltage-clamp techniques to study ion channel pharmacology and fluorescence imaging to explore calcium release and re-uptake dynamics in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. His work addresses excitation-contraction coupling and its role in heart rate and contraction regulation.
Scientific Awards:
- Intermediate British Heart Foundation Research Fellow
Grants and Funding: His research has been supported by the British Heart Foundation and other institutional grants. He has contributed to understanding the physiological and pharmacological regulation of cardiac ion channels and calcium handling mechanisms.
Labs and Teams: Dr. Hussain leads a laboratory at the University of Bradford focused on cardiac electrophysiology, utilizing advanced techniques to study ion transport and intracellular calcium dynamics in cardiac cells.
