Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Dr. Michael Gotthardt was trained as a physician in Heidelberg, Berlin and Boston. In 1997, he completed his doctoral thesis at the Humboldt University in Berlin, working on the development of adenoviral vectors for somatic gene therapy. He continued his studies at the Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas where he generated several mouse models of cardiovascular diseases, including a line of mice carrying a genetic defect of the muscle protein titin, an important animal model of cardiomyopathy. Focus of his future work will be the elucidation of the role of titin in muscle and non-muscle tissues leading to novel strategies for treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
