In 2014 Aoife moved from Dublin to Milan where she established the an induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) research program and iPSC Group in the Unit of Vascular Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Centro Cardiologico Monzino. The iPSC Group works together to create cutting-edge precision models of cardiomyopathy and also investigates the value of bio-engineered substrates and microfluidic platforms to benefit both the cell maturity and disease-model faithfulness. Recently, her group has received major funding from EU, national and private enterprise sources (European Research Area Network on Cardiovascular Diseases, Fondazione Telethon, Unione Italiana Lotta alla Distrofia Muscolare, Italian Ministry of Health, Umberto Veronesi Foundation, Fondazione IEO-CCM, Italfarmaco s.r.l.). She continues to collaborate with investigators in Italy and abroad.
