Biologist
Michele Miragoli is an Associate Professor in the field of Applied Medical Technical Sciences at the Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma. He has an extensive academic and professional background in medical technologies applied to the study of cardiac arrhythmias.
He holds a master’s degree in General Biology from the University of Parma and completed a PhD in Systemic Pathophysiology, focusing on the initiation and propagation of impulses in cardiac tissue.
From 2003 to 2008, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Physiology, University of Bern, Switzerland, under the supervision of Prof. Stephan Rohr, contributing to the understanding of cardiac arrhythmia mechanisms. From 2008 to 2011, he worked as a Researcher at Imperial College London, UK, within the National Heart and Lung Institute, focusing on the microscopic mechanisms of cardiac function. In 2012, he became Junior Group Leader in Cardiac Nanophysiology at the Humanitas Clinical and Research Center in Rozzano, Italy, while also serving as a Researcher at the Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma.
His achievements have been recognized with awards including the Rector’s Award from Imperial College London in 2011 and the Young Researcher Award from the Italian and Swiss Associations of Cardiovascular Research in 2008 and 2009.
His research lines range from the effects of air pollution on arrhythmias to cardiovascular nanomedicine and nanotoxicology.
Within the MAMELI project, Michele Miragoli supervises the analysis of cardiovascular responses to exposome factors.
