Scientifically viewed, the heart is a chemically powered, electrically 
controlled, mechanical pump, but the way in which it performs is nothing 
short of amazing. Heart structure and function are tightly interrelated 
in ways that we are still discovering. Cardiac muscle hosts a multitude 
of complex regulatory mechanisms that allow the heart to perform even 
after transplantation into another body and multiple feedback mechanisms 
provide the heart with an astonishing ability to adapt to the body's 
constantly changing demand in blood circulation. This happens during 
every heartbeat and roughly a million times during every ten-day period 
of our life.

Given the importance of cardiac activity, it is surprising how many 
aspects of the heart are still poorly understood. This lecture will show 
that linking scientific observations of structure and function from 
sub-cellular scales to the whole body is essential in driving 
fundamental research and clinical application.

Peter Kohl holds the Chair in Cardiac Biophysics and Systems Biology at 
Imperial's National Heart and Lung Institute. He also is a visiting 
professor at the Department for Computer Science at the University of 
Oxford.

Peter studied Medicine and Biophysics at the Moscow Pirogov Institute 
and after post-graduate training and research at the Berlin Charité he 
joined the Cardiac Electrophysiology Chair of Professor Denis Noble at 
the University of Oxford. In 1998, Peter set up the Oxford Cardiac 
Mechano-Electric Feedback lab, initially as a Royal Society Research 
Fellow and subsequently as a Senior Fellow of the British Heart Foundation.

Peter's team enjoys a strong international reputation in cardiac 
mechano-electrical interaction studies as a result of their ability to 
cross traditional boundaries between fields (engineering, biophysics, 
biology, computing) and levels (ion channel to whole organ) of 
investigation. Peter directs a portfolio of externally-funded research 
(supported by ERC, BHF, BBSRC, EPSRC and EC), and he has been a driver 
of international collaborations such as the Network of Excellence for 
the EU Virtual Physiological Human Initiative. He serves on a number of 
editorial boards, as a reviewer for international journals and funding 
bodies and is the coordinating editor of the primary textbook on 
/Cardiac Mechano-Electric Coupling and Arrhythmias/.
