LMU Munich is one of Europe’s leading research institutions. Scientists from all over the world encounter excellent conditions for their work - in their own research field and in interdisciplinary networks alike.

The Institute of Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathophysiology, headed by Prof. Christian Wahl-Schott, is part of the Biomedical Center (BMC) of the LMU Faculty of Medicine. The institute is dedicated to cardiovascular research. Our research groups investigate the function of HCN channels in the heart as well as TPC and TRPML channels in the endolysosomal system. Loss or dysfunction of these ion channels is associated with various diseases such as lysosomal storage disorders, cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure.
