DPAG's Dr Jakub Tomek and Professor Blanca Rodriguez's Computational Cardiovascular Science Team have developed a new computer model that recreates the electrical activity of the ventricles in a human heart. In doing so, they have uncovered and resolved theoretical inconsistencies that have been present in almost all models of the heart from the last 25 years and created a new human heart model that could enable more basic, translational and clinical research into a range of heart diseases and potentially accelerate the development of new therapies.
Body Donation
The mission of the University of Oxford is the advancement of learning by teaching and research and its dissemination by every means. In order to continue to provide world-class education and training for our medical students, we rely on generous and public-spirited people who would like their bodies to be of use after their death. Bodies donated to Oxford are a vital resource for teaching students about the structure and function of the human body, for training healthcare professionals and for developing innovative medical and surgical techniques.
