We search for novel therapies in heart failure and focus on mitochondrial energetics and excitation-contraction coupling.

Wir sind zutiefst betroffen und traurig: DZHK-Professorin Jeanette Erdmann ist am 8. Juli 2023 plötzlich verstorben. Sie war eine fabelhafte Wissenschaftlerin und ein wundervoller Mensch. Unser Mitgefühl gilt den Angehörigen. Wir werden sie nie vergessen. 🖤

Wir trauern um Ulrich Vogel, der als Professor für Krankenhaushygiene und Medizinische Mikrobiologie über viele Jahre einen elementaren und nachhaltigen Beitrag für Sicherheit in der Patientenversorgung geleistet hat. https://t.co/tOg9l8ZOKl

I am deeply shocked and sorry to learn that Jeff Robbins is no longer with us. He was truly a dedicated mentor, scientist, colleague, and, for me, above and beyond. We will truly miss him, but his science will remain with us forever! Rest in Peace, Jeff!!

Congratulations to Johannes Bay for a superb job on his MD thesis (redox regulation in HCM)! My first MD student with summa cum laude! 🍾Thanks also to Michael Kohlhaas & Matze Hohl for their support! @DZHI_Wuerzburg @ChristophMaack @YoungDZHK @dzhk_germany @hohl_mathias

Congratulations, @VolkersMirko, @ShirinDor et al. on an impressive piece of work! Interesting to see mitochondrial and metabolic pathways´ transcription kicking on already 3 hours after TAC!

Haben Sie sich schon zum #DreiländertreffenHerzinsuffizienz angemeldet? Kardiologen aus D, A und CH diskutieren vom 26. bis 28. September im @DZHI_Wuerzburg über "Herzinsuffizienzmanagement - eine Herausforderung für den Generalisten und Spezialisten"

Exciting findings by Kirichok´s lab: The mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (ACC) serves as uncoupling protein in cardiac myocytes, making UCP2 and 3 unlikely mediators of fatty acid-induced uncoupling. Data also argue against AAC involvement in PTP formation. https://t.co/rT4rCGZgyl

Beautiful (He)art! Students from the Montessori school in Würzburg get to work, painting a flowerish heart in the lobby of the @DZHI_Wuerzburg after winning a Würzburg-wide art contest for the best ideas on "healing broken hearts". Colors into the big white! @ChristophMaack

Congratulations to Lea Seidlmayer, who published her work on the role of mitofusin 2 for SR-mito Ca transmission via IP3/RyR1!
https://t.co/v8GEjECdx1. There may be two distinct domains of SR-mito Ca transmission, a fast one via RyR2/MCU and this slower one. @ChristophMaack
