The CNRS & INSERM "International Research Project" label for the GAINES project

Within the unit, the three teams, "Cardiovascular Genetics", "Cardiac Arrhythmias" and "Dyslipidemia and Lipotoxicity", combine their strengths and international collaborations to develop cutting-edge projects in the pathophysiology of cardiac arrhythmias and dyslipidemia. The GAINES - Genetic Architecture IN cardiovascular disEaSes - project aims to strengthen these collaborations but also to initiate new ones with partners whose expertise will complement our research projects in these areas:  

•     Cardiac arrhythmias: New molecular markers to stratify sudden cardiac death.
•     Familial dyslipidemia as a model for identifying protective factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
•     Cross-referencing genetic findings in cases of intracranial aneurysm of European origin with Moya-Moya disease in Japan.

Beyond the ambitious research objectives, GAINES aims to promote the training of talented young students and the career development of young scientists in world-class research centers.

To implement these collaborations, the CNRS & INSERM grant a support of 75 000 € to the teams to finance missions and exchanges with Dutch, German and Japanese teams, complementing the VERACITIES funding from IRP NEXT.
