Prof Hausenloy Derek

Professor Derek Hausenloy is a Tanoto Foundation Professor in Cardiovascular Medicine. He is also Professor of the Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disorders Signature Programme, Duke-NUS Medical School, and Director, National Heart Research Institute Singapore (NHRIS) as well as Senior Consultant, Department of Cardiology, National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS). He is also Professor at the Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, University College London.

Prof Hausenloy conducts basic, translational and clinical research in the areas of ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, cardioprotection, and cardiac MRI. His main research focus is on discovering novel therapies for protecting the heart against acute ischaemia/reperfusion injury and heart failure. Prof Hausenloy's research ranges from cellular and animal disease models of cardiovascular disease to proof-of-concept clinical studies in acute myocardial infarction, heart failure and cardiac bypass surgery patients, and finally to large multi-centre randomised clinical trials focused on clinical outcomes. He also uses human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes to model cardiomyopathies in order to elucidate underlying mechanisms and identify novel therapeutic targets and has an interest in discovering new treatment targets for peripheral arterial disease.

Prof Hausenloy has been the Private Investigator (PI) on more than 40 research grants (totalling over $40M), and authored over 400 papers with a H-index of 96. In 2018, 2020 and 2021 he was named Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate Analytics (awarded to top 1% of researchers worldwide).
