Dr. med. Daniel Reichart
Affiliation: University Hospital LMU Munich, Department of Medicine I – Cardiology
Research Focus:
Dr. Reichart's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of cardiac aging, particularly investigating how age-related changes at the single-cell level contribute to increased susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases. His work aims to identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets to mitigate age-associated cardiac dysfunction.
Role in ICON:
Within ICON's research on vascular and metabolic diseases, Dr. Reichart contributes expertise in single-cell genomics and gene editing technologies to explore the cellular heterogeneity of the aging heart and develop potential interventions.
Key Areas of Work:
- Single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing to characterize cardiac cell populations
- CRISPR-based genome editing in post-mitotic cardiac cells
- Identification of molecular markers and pathways involved in cardiac aging
Techniques & Infrastructure:
- Advanced single-cell transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling
- Genome editing tools tailored for cardiovascular applications
- Integration of multi-omics data to elucidate aging mechanisms
