Biography

Dr. Xenia Kaidonis is a Senior Post-doctoral Scientist at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, focusing on understanding cardiac biology. Her key research areas include investigating biochemical pathway perturbations that contribute to spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and the changes in biochemical pathways involved in cardiomyocyte maturation. She aims to uncover the genetic variants that predispose individuals to SCAD, a non-atherosclerotic acute coronary syndrome primarily affecting otherwise healthy women. Dr. Kaidonis' work emphasizes the biochemical changes in cardiac development, exploring how the heart repairs itself after injury, and her investigations into the developmental changes in cardiomyocyte biochemistry provide critical insights into targeted regeneration pathways that could enhance cardiac repair in adults. She has contributed significantly to identifying several proteins of interest that are pivotal for cardiac recovery and regeneration.
