The PARCC (Paris Cardiovascular Research Center, Inserm U970) succeeded in bringing together an important critical mass of basic and clinician scientists, who share a vision and common objectives in the field of cardiovascular diseases. PARCC teams are conducting projects, spanning basic molecular and cellular biology to integrated physiology and pathophysiology, biomarkers, genetics and epidemiology, with the goal of understanding, at a more refined and mechanistic level, disease processes in atherosclerosis, angiogenesis, hypertension, heart failure and sudden cardiac death, and also at the interface between cardiology and oncology. They are developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Translational research is an integral part of the mission of the PARCC, in close connection with clinical laboratories and departments of the HEGP hospital.

The PARCC is part of the Université de Paris Cité and of the Institut des sciences cardiovasculaires de l’université de Paris
