Peter Kohl read Medicine and Biophysics at the Moscow Pirogov Institute (1981-1987) and, after post-graduate training and research at the Berlin Charité (PhD 1990, Facharzt 1991), he joined the Cardiac Electrophysiology group of Denis Noble at Oxford (1992). In 1998, Dr Kohl set up the Cardiac Mechano-Electric Feedback lab, which currently comprises eight staff and five students. The team conducts research into the mechanisms and implications of cardiac mechano-sensitivity, from the sub-cellular level to clinical models, using 'wet' experimental and 'dry' computational techniques.
