Prof. Gepstein's research activities focus on basic and clinical cardiac electrophysiology, stem cell biology, inherited cardiac disorders, and establishment of novel gene and cell-based strategies for the treatment of different cardiac disorders. Prof. Gepstein’s research group was among the pioneers in developing unique cardiomyocyte differentiation strategies from human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells. Prof. Gepstein has received a number of prestigious awards for his achievements in cardiology, including the American College of Cardiology Douglas P. Zipes Distinguished Young Scientist Award, the European Society of Cardiology outstanding research achievement award and the Mirowski Award from the Israel Cardiology Society. He was recently elected to the Israeli Young Academy of Science.
