Pim van Gorp joined our lab for his PhD training in the early Spring of 2017 after finishing his medical and biomedical studies. Before he was a graduate student in our lab studying the pathophysiological mechanisms of ventricular arrhythmia in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. During his PhD training, which is supported by a grant from ZonMw (Meer Kennis Minder Dieren / More Knowledge Less Animals), he will focus on the generation and characterization of lines of conditionally immortalized human cardiomyocytes for disease modeling and design of novel biological therapeutics.
