معرفی
Olav Søvik Eken is a Researcher at the Experimental Cardiology department under the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Oslo. His work bridges cellular cardiac physiology with clinical applications, focusing on ion homeostasis and signaling pathways in heart rhythm regulation and muscle contraction.
- Current PhD student at the Section for Physiology
- Teaches physiology to medical students
- Research spans experimental cardiology and emergency medicine
Research Interests: Eken investigates how ion balance and signaling in cardiac muscle cells affect contraction, relaxation, and arrhythmias. His studies incorporate molecular mechanisms like phosphodiesterase interactions and calcium signaling, with translational applications in heart failure and clinical physiology.
Publications: His recent work explores SERCA2 activity regulation and endogenous kinase inhibitors in arrhythmias, published in high-impact journals like Circulation and Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology.
