The 2025 Spring Term Cardiac Function Seminar series talks will be back *Monday 16th June 2025* when we will be welcoming Dr Kazumasa Kanemaru, University of Cambridge.
Talk Title: Decoding the human heartbeat with spatially resolved multiomics
Talk Time: 12:30 – 13:30 UK time (please not this talk will be held on Monday instead of our usual Thursday)
Kazumasa completed his medical degree in 2012 and his PhD in 2016 at the University of Tsukuba in Japan. During his PhD and early postdoctoral research, he specialised in functionally analysing immunoreceptors through mouse models and cellular assays, employing various wet-lab techniques.
Since October 2020, at the Sarah Teichmann Lab—initially at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and currently at the Stem Cell Institute at the University of Cambridge—he has focused on generating data and utilising machine-learning approaches on human heart multiomics datasets, including single-cell and spatial omics. While in the Teichmann group, his research was supported by an overseas fellowship from the Takeda Science Foundation.
Presently, Kazumasa is investigating how to translate insights from human multiomics analyses into experimental applications.
