Cesare Terracciano is Professor of Cardiac Electrophysiology at the National Heart & Lung Institute, Imperial College London. Professor Terracciano graduated in Medicine at the Universita' La Sapienza of Roma, Italy, and qualified in Cardiology in the same medical school. He obtained his PhD in Physiology at the National Heart & Lung Institute, London.
In his career, he was one of the first to study the mode of regulation of cardiac calcium transporters. the effects of manipulating calcium transporter expression using transgenic technology, myocardial and microdomain plasticity in response to mechanical unloading with left ventricular assist devices, characterise modalities of application and the paracrine effects of cell transplantation, and define the electrophysiological properties of stem cell-derived cardiac myocytes, their chamber specificity and their use in tissue engineering.
