Novel Concepts to Treat Myocardial Infarction Beyond Coronary Revascularisation [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description As heart specialists we got better/faster in reopening blocked arteries that cause heart attacks. However, with this reopening, inflammatory blood cells flow in previously oxygen-deprived heart muscle and attack it and paradoxically cause further damage and heart failure. We now aim to develop novel, highly innovative biotechnological and nanoparticle-based drugs that keep the small vessels open and prevent the build-up of an inflammatory reaction, ultimately rescuing heart tissue and lives.
