Daniel Johnson

After completing a BSc in Pharmacology at the University of Newcastle, Dan went to work at the MSD Neuroscience Research centre where he was introduced to the world of ion channels and their roles in physiology. He then went on to complete a PhD entitled 'Enhanced Prediction and Prevention of Torsades de Pointes' at Maastricht University as part of a collaboration with Astrazeneca, investigating the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmia.

He then went on to carrying out post-doctoral work at K.U. Leuven in Belgium, where he received funding to further investigate arrhythmia mechanisms, and at University of Maastricht. He returned to the UK in 2019 to work at the University of Birmingham. In 2020, he joined the Open University as a lecturer where he is building his research line investigating ionic mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis.
