Tammo Delhaas, MD, PhD
"Chairman Session 2: Modeling of Activation and Repolarization in Cardiac Tissue"

Pediatric Cardiologist, Departments of Pediatrics and Physiology, Maastricht University Medical Centre, The Netherlands

Tammo Delhaas obtained his MD at the University of Groningen in 1988. He received his PhD degree from Maastricht University in 1993 on the basis of a thesis on cardiac mechanics under normoxic and ischemic circumstances. He was trained in Pediatrics at the University Hospital Maastricht and at the Wilhelmina Children's Hospital in Utrecht and qualified as a Pediatrician in 1997. He received a Fulbright grant and an ICIN Fellowship to spend one year in 1996/1997 at the Departments of Bioengineering and Medicine from the University of California at San Diego. In 1997 he joined the Department of Physiology on a part-time basis. In the remaining time he was trained in Pediatric Cardiology at the University Hospital Aachen, Germany, and the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. In 2000 he qualified as a Pediatric Cardiologist, was appointed as Clinical Fellow of the Netherlands Heart Foundation, and got a full-time appointment at the Departments of Pediatrics and Physiology where he is involved in projects related to cellular and cardiac mechanics, cardiac pacing, and mathematical modelling of the heart and circulation.
