Constanze Schmidt, PI of project P16 of the CRC1425, is being honoured with a Else Kröner Clinician Scientist Professorship for Atrial Arrhythmopathy. The professorship is endowed with € 1 million over 10 years and is dedicated to uncovering molecular and cellular electrophysiological causes that lead to the development of atrial cardiomyopathy. Based on the identification of the essential pathophysiological mechanisms, new therapeutic approaches against atrial fibrillation are to be developed. [Press release]
