Victor Zamora Rodriguez

Dr. Victor Zamora Rodriguez is an Affiliate at the University of Glasgow within the School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health, with a research address in the School of Engineering's Rankine Building. His work focuses on cardiac electrophysiology, stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, and drug-induced toxicity assessment. He collaborates on projects involving human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) models to study arrhythmias and cardiac regeneration.

His research interests include optimizing hiPSC-derived cardiac cells for drug safety testing, exploring gene therapies for myocardial infarction recovery, and advancing biomaterials for cardiac tissue engineering. He has contributed to translational studies assessing the predictive capacity of stem cell models in cardiac pharmacology.

Key contributions include developing optical platforms to measure drug effects on cardiomyocytes and improving hiPSC maturation techniques using microgradient substrates. His work bridges basic science and clinical applications, particularly in cardiovascular drug development and cardiac disease modeling.
