Streamlining global drug testing by modelling side effects of drugs on the heart

Gary Mirams is a Professor of Mathematical Physiology at the University of Nottingham. Gary and his team at the Centre for Mathematical Medicine & Biology work on modelling cardiac electrical activity. They collaborate with pharmaceutical companies such as GSK and Roche, as well as their regulators, and use simulations of drug effects on heart cells to predict potential side effects before human clinical trials. In his talk, Gary will share his journey in translating academic research into real-world impact.
