Translational exploration of fully biological restoration of cardiac rhythm via ion channel gene therapy
The conference:
Dynamics Days Europe is a series of major international conferences founded in the 1980’s that provides a European forum for developments in the theory and applications of dynamics. For more than 40 years, it has been bringing together researchers from a wide range of backgrounds including physics, mathematics, biology, and engineering for interdisciplinary research in nonlinear science.
I recently had the pleasure of presenting at Dynamics Days Europe, held in the beautiful city of Bremen, Germany. My talk was part of the minisymposium "Modeling, analysis, and control of cardiac dynamics," and focused on recent advances in nonlinear dynamics applied to the concept of the BioICD.
In particular, I discussed how mathematical models—often used to evaluate the effectiveness of BioICD channels—can yield counterintuitive insights. While certain channels may seem less effective in idealized or simplified models, they can actually perform better in more realistic, complex physiological scenarios. This highlights the importance of integrating realistic dynamics into model-based assessments of cardiac interventions.
Beyond the academic exchange, the conference was a great opportunity to make meaningful connections and engage with wonderful researchers from across the field. A memorable highlight was the conference dinner—held on a boat—which added a special touch to an already enriching experience.
