My name is Nino Chirico, and I am in the final stages of completing my Ph.D. in Cardiac Regenerative Medicine at the University Medical Centre of Utrecht. My research efforts have yielded substantial achievements, including securing grants, publishing in reputable scientific journals, and presenting at international conferences. Notably, I was honored with the Young Talent Initiative Grant in 2021, facilitating a valuable visit to Prof. Christman's lab at the University of California San Diego, enhancing my project management and cross-cultural collaboration skills. I am excited about the prospect of sharing a short summary of my thesis on this website after successfully defending my thesis around the summer. 
I appreciate the support of Hart Onderzoek Nederland.
