Dr. Kamp received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago. He has been at the University of Wisconsin since 1996 after completing his Internal Medicine residency and fellowship in cardiovascular diseases at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Kamp’s research focuses on understanding the normal function of ion channel proteins in the heart and the dysfunction of these channels in disease states such as heart failure and arrhythmias. Recently, human embryonic stem cells have been utilized in this research to produce human cardiac myocytes for basic cellular electrophysiology studies.
