Dr David Crossman has been awarded a 3 year NZ Heart Foundation Fellowship and a project grant for his project entitled, ‘How does nature’s pacemaker reverse heart failure?’ The project has to date been funded by the Health Research Council and Ceryx Medical. Now the Heart Foundation is funding fellow UoA researcher Dr David Crossman to use a new state-of-the-art microscope to investigate which heart muscle cells the pacemaker acts on.
“I’ll be using a new super-resolution microscope, known as a STED microscope, to get a high resolution feel for what’s going on,” explains David.
