Dra Carmen Tarifa is a basic science electrophysiologist that developed her Ph.D. degree program in Medicine with an awarded Predoctoral Research Grant within the National Programme for Training Human Resources by The Autonomous University of Barcelona under the mentorship of Dr. Leif Hove-Madsen. During her Ph.D., she was a Cardiac Rhythm and Contraction Group member at the Biomedical Research Institutes IIBB-CSIC and IIB Sant Pau, focusing her research on the spatial distribution and remodeling of spontaneous calcium release events as a novel mechanism potentiating their ability to induce spontaneous electrical activity in AF. She is currently a post-doctoral scientist in Prof Silvia G Priori’s Molecular Cardiology laboratory at the Spanish National Centre for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC) in Madrid where she studies ionic currents associated with inherited arrhythmia syndromes.
