Research Fellow
Claire began her career as a nurse before earning a PhD in Cellular Biology and Animal Physiology in France, where she focused on the study of the sodium channel Nav1.5 in fibroblasts and its role in long QT syndrome type III and age-related progressive cardiac conduction defects. Currently, her recent work has identified a paradoxical role of senescence, a hallmark of biological aging, in placenta and its senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in pregnancy-induced heart failure. She is also exploring the SASP and investigating novel therapeutic strategies for arrhythmias, notably in atrial fibrillation.
