Introduction
This programme benefits from the expertise of research unit and the Clinical Investigation Centre (CIC) of the institut du Thorax. It is based on an integrative and translational vision of cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory diseases, both in care structures and in the laboratory.
At the institut du Thorax, researchers, engineers, clinicians and clinical research professionals work together to diagnose, understand, prevent and treat these diseases. Throughout the training, InnoCARE students will be formed in the various innovative approaches including genomics, the generation of cellular or animal models for the study of pathologies, the identification of biomarkers and therapeutic targets and the development of innovative treatments.
Cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory diseases are the major causes of death worldwide. The opportunities for academic, industrial and clinical careers are significant. The professional development of each student is placed at the heart of our GP's educational objective.Why joining the Graduate Programme Innovation for CArdiovascular, metabolic and REspiratory diseases?
Our Graduate Programme rely on student trainings through basic and translational research.
GP InnoCARE scientific areas:
- Inherited cardiac rhythm diseases
- Degenerative heart valve diseases and bioprosthesis
- Chronic and acute heart failure
- Intracranial aneurysms
- Atheromatous disease
- Dyslipidemia, obesity, diabetes
- Chronobiology
- Asthma
Innovative approaches and technologies:
- Genomics: genetics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, molecular medicine;
- Modelling pathology: induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS), organoids, genome editing/CRISPR cas9, animal models;
- Integrative phenotyping: high-throughput electrophysiology, multimodal imaging, functional exploration;
- Biological data analysis: bioinformatics for basic and (pre)clinical research, systems biology;
- Biomarker identification and new treatments: multiomic approaches, (photo) pharmacology, biotherapies.
