Main Research Topic and scientific output: Cardiac electrophysiology, inherited cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, Long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, Cardiogenetics Scientific Output: 735 original articles and reviews, h-index= 114 (December 2021). Teaching and supervision: Supervision (promotor) 62 PhD students (finished 54, current supervision 8). Graduated cum laude: 3. Twentyseven of these PhD students are working as (pediatric) cardiologists (of whom 9 in training), 5 as clinical geneticists and 10 as assistant professors in basic science. Two postdoctoral researchers under current supervision. Personal statement: I am a clinical Cardiologist and translational researcher with a focus in the area of electrophysiology, cardiogenetics and inherited arrhythmias. In Amsterdam University Medical Centers (location AMC), we were one of the first worldwide to start an outpatient cardiogenetic clinic. Over the years we have seen thousands of patients and families with inherited arrhythmia syndrome. They are at the basis of my Academic Research which is focused on inherited cardiac diseases which are associated with sudden cardiac death. Different aspects, including gene discovery, genotype-phenotype relationships and new treatment modalities have been and are being covered. Our genetic laboratory in Amsterdam is one of the largest in Europe. Since 2017 I’m the coordinator of the European Reference Network GUARD-Heart (The ERN for rare cardiac diseases).
