Join Dr. Melanie White for a discussion on basic isolated Langendorff heart principles, key experimental design considerations, core technology requirements and best practice tips to support consistency and validation of your research.

The isolated Langendorff heart has been a cornerstone of cardiovascular research for more than a century. Its long-standing scientific relevance is partly due to the fact that it allows experimental conditions to be studied beyond confounding hormonal and neurological influence. In addition, the isolated perfused heart serves as a bridge between in vivo and in vitro research, with many applications in heart physiology and pharmacology.

In this webinar sponsored by ADInstruments, Dr. Melanie White, Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellow from the University of Sydney, provides a useful introduction to isolated heart studies.

Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellow
School of Medicine
The University of Sydney

Dr. Melanie White is a member of the Charles Perkins Society, a Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellow and teaches senior students in the discipline of Pathology at the University of Sydney School of Medicine. Her research interests include understanding more about how cells adapt to their changing environment by altering proteins using post-translational modifications. Her and her team’s work centers on asking these questions in clinically relevant models of myocardial ischemia (heart attack), type 2 diabetes and obesity.
