L’équipe du Électrophysiologie Cardiovasculaire se concentre surtout sur l’étude des mécanismes de la maladie du cœur liée aux troubles du rythme cardiaque, dans le but d’élaborer de nouvelles thérapies pour ces arythmies. Utilisant notamment le transfert de gènes somatiques, l’électrophysiologie cellulaire et des techniques de biologie cellulaire et moléculaire, elle est amenée à travailler aussi bien sur des organes isolés que sur des animaux entiers.
