Dr. Ana Vujic is a British Heart Foundation (BHF) Intermediate Research Fellow and a group leader (SRA) in the Department of Medicine, Heart and Lung Research Institute. Ana’s research is focused on investigating the important roles of mitochondrial redox and metabolism in regulation of cardiac remodeling during exercise and heart failure. Ana’s team is passionate about investigating how the body’s natural adaptation to challenges such as exercise can be harnessed to combat cardiometabolic diseases.
Ana received her PhD from Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridge in 2013, where she explored the role of DNA methylation dynamics in the development of cardiomyopathy. She later on did a short post-doc on epigenetic regulation of heart failure in Prof. Roger Foo’s lab at National University of Singapore, and a longer post-doc on cardiac regeneration/ageing and exercise in Prof. Richard T Lee lab at Harvard University (2013-2020). She returned to Cambridge, end of 2020, as a BHF-CRE-funded Career Development fellow.
