Stanley Nattel, BSc, MD received his MD from McGill University in 1974 and undertook internal medicine and clinical pharmacology training at McGill between 1974 and 1978. He then obtained clinical and basic cardiology research training at Indiana University and University of Pennsylvania (1978-1981) before joining the faculty at McGill in 1981. In 1987, he transferred to the University of Montreal and Montreal Heart Institute, where he directed the Research Center between 1990 and 2004.
He is presently Paul-David Chair in Cardiovascular Electrophysiology at the University of Montreal and Director of the Electrophysiology Research Program at the Montreal Heart Institute. He continues to practice clinical cardiology. His research focuses on clinically-relevant mechanisms of cardiac bioelectricity, particularly atrial fibrillation, pro-arrhythmia, cardiac remodeling, ion channel molecular physiology, and mechanisms of drug action. His lab uses a wide range of molecular, cellular, whole-animal, and theoretical methods to gain insights into clinically-relevant basic mechanisms and identify novel therapeutic targets.
