will be featured in the March 19 issue of the journal Nature. Dr. Gilmour is UPEI鈥檚 vice-president academic and research. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Dr. Gilmour has continued his research into the mechanisms for the development of cardiac rhythm disturbances.

The paper, entitled 鈥淓lectromechanical vortex filaments during cardiac fibrillation,鈥� explores a combination of techniques, which enables, for the first time, simultaneous visualization of the 3D waves of electrical and mechanical activity that are responsible for many cases of sudden cardiac death. An on the paper says the ideas within 鈥渃ould considerably advance our understanding of ventricular fibrillation. The study has potential implications for a broad range of researchers, from physicists to cardiologists.鈥� Dr. Gilmour's co-authors include former colleagues and trainees from his tenure at Cornell University.

Congratulations, Dr. Gilmour!
