subsequently trained in the USA ( Washington University St Louis Missouri)
in the field of cellular electrophysiology and then trained in Molecular
Biology at the Telethon Institute for Genetics and Medicine in Italy. Prof.

and is Associate Professor of Cardiology at the University of Pavia.
Prof. Dr.
Hugues Abriel studied biology at the Swiss Federal Institute of
