Research aim

We aim at discovering, validating and implementing biochemical markers for risk stratification diagnosis,and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases.

 

Project examples

  • The development and validation of blood-based and other screening tools for cardiovascular diseases using a large screening cohorte (DANCAVAS and PREPARE)
  • Markers for phosphate metabolism and their association with cardiovascular diseases

Available cohorts and infrastructures

DANCAVAS (ref – trial + baseline) PUBMED #26637993 & 30919411
