William Wijns is SFI Professor in Interventional Cardiology at NUIG since September 2016. Research efforts are targeting the development and validation of innovative techniques in interventional medicine including invasive and non-invasive physiological measurements and imaging, drug-eluting stents and applications of multi-detector coronary CT angiography. In addition, ongoing research aims to prevent high-risk subjects from suffering cardiac disability by modification of vulnerable plaques and modulation of trigger mechanisms that precipitate acute events. Professor Wijns is committed to the development and evaluation of novel device-based therapies of cardiovascular diseases.
