1. Key career achievements (max 300 words) Dr. Martina Calore is a leading researcher in the field of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), with over 15 years of experience in genetic, epigenetic, and disease modeling studies. During her career, she developed and characterized several in vitro and in vivo models for ACM, including patient-derived iPSC-cardiomyocytes and knock-in mice. She has led multiple multidisciplinary projects combining genomics, transcriptomics, and functional cardiac assessments. Dr. Calore has supervised PhD candidates, obtained competitive grants (e.g., Marie Curie, Horizon Europe), and collaborated with renowned institutions and biotech companies. She has contributed to over 30 publications with a strong impact in cardiovascular genetics. 2.
