Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne in modelling diabetic heart disease using human cardiac microtissues . This project investigates diabetic cardiomyopathy , a condition where diabetes increases the risk of heart failure through chronic metabolic stress. The research uses human iPSC-derived multicellular cardiac microtissues to study cellular and molecular pathways involved in cardiac dysfunction under diabetic-like conditions such as hyperglycaemia and lipotoxic stress. ...
