CITY Consortium Announces 2025 Research Project Awardees
The CITY Consortium, coordinated by Jean-Sébastien Silvestre and originating from the Hors Murs Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, is delighted to support new research projects.
A recipient of the Paris Cité University’s Initiative of Excellence, CITY is dedicated to the crucial study of the interplay between inflammatory responses and cardiovascular pathologies.
The evaluation committee—comprising Jean-Sébastien Silvestre PARCC, Fériel Azibani MASCOT, Lucie Péduto Pasteur Institute, Stéphanie Smadja CERILAC, Antonino Nicoletti LVTS, and Benoit Ho-Tin-Noe OPTeN—has selected the laureates for the CITY INCEPTION and CITY IMPULSE 2025 calls!
√ CITY INCEPTION 2025
Project MYOSOTIS
- Objective: To improve the diagnosis and prediction of progression to dilated cardiomyopathy in acute myocarditis, an inflammatory disease with a male/female imbalance.
- Principal Investigators: Théo Pezel (MASCOT) and Takiy-Eddine Berrandou (PARCC)
√ CITY IMPULSE 2025
Project Heartspin
- Objective: To elucidate the role of serine protease inhibitors on neutrophils and the progression of post-ischemic heart failure.
- Principal Investigators: Marie Piollet (PARCC) and Marie-Christine Bouton (LVTS)
Project RODIN
- Objective: To define the role of endothelial cell / inflammatory cell interactions in calcific aortic valve disease.
- Principal Investigators: Jamila Laschet (LVTS) and David Smadja (PARCC)
Congratulations to the winning PARCC members! These exceptional projects showcase the excellence of collaborative cardiovascular research within Paris Cité University.
We eagerly anticipate following the progress of this crucial work.
