Funded Activity Summary

This project aims to investigate how the paediatric heart responds to oxidative cellular stresses during cardiac development, surgical stress and congenital heart disease. Pre-surgical interventions aims at improving cardiac function following surgery will be examined, with cellular models being used to determine molecular pathways of cardioprotection, as well as testing agents which may limit cellular damage under surgical stress and disease.
