Xin Su Ning (XSN) is a multi-component herbal medicine and licensed anti-arrhythmic drug. My FHS project aims to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of action of XSN and specifically the contribution of a single component – Licochalcone (LCC) – to its anti-arrhythmic properties. Using multi-electrode array (MEA) techniques, I am studying the effects of LCC on human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, in the hope of better understanding the pharmacology of XSN, its components and their potential as novel anti-arrhythmic drugs.
