معرفی
Dr Richard Tyser is a Principal Investigator at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, University of Cambridge. His research focuses on the emergence of form and function during early heart development, particularly the role of contraction in cardiac differentiation and morphology.
- Undergraduate: University of Manchester (with placement at University of Nevada, Reno)
- PhD: University College London in Cardiovascular Medicine (2016)
Research interests center on cardiac progenitor cell populations in human and mouse models, mechanisms of cardiomyocyte differentiation, and the interplay between contraction and heart development. His work has implications for congenital heart defects and regenerative medicine.
Key publications highlight single-cell transcriptomics in gastrulation, epicardial-myocardial progenitor characterization, and calcium signaling in initiating the first heartbeat. Articles span developmental biology, stem cell research, and cardiovascular science.
- British Heart Foundation Immediate Basic Research Fellowship (2018)
Dr Tyser's research team includes Zoe Colucci (PhD student), Noémie Combémorel (Research Associate), Emma Moth (MRes + PhD student), Yentel Mateo Otero (Postdoc), Theodore Nelson (MPhil student), Clara Riégis (Biomedical Research Technician), and Jore J Van Wauwe (Research Associate). His work is housed at the Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
