This week Kickoff meeting for ERA4Health CARDINNOV HFpEF-DIVA consortium, featuring Vanessa van Empel (CARIM, Maastricht, NL), Arantxa González Miqueo (FIMA, Pamplona, ES), Elizabeth Jones (KU Leuven, BE), and Jean-Christophe Rain (Hybrigenics SAS, Évry, FR) and Healthy Heart Fund Krista Bogaert

#FCVB2024 Amsterdam this week-end for exciting news from the Frontiers of Cardiovascular research

Today 12h30 exciting research seminar at Rouen University on the nanobody pipeline for translational applications by Dr Jean-Christophe Rain, president of Hybrigenics SAS, and partner of our ERA4Health HFpEF-DIVA consortium.

Meanwhile at the @EU_METAHEART COST meeting this week I ran in to two other outstanding HFpEF affecionados: Simon Sedej (Graz) and Mathias Mericskay (Paris-Saclay U1180) #HFpEF-DIVA

Two of our HFpEF-DIVA PIs rocking it at the ESC Winter conference in Nice this week: proudly presenting Liz Jones (KU Leuven) and Arantxa González Miqueo (FIMA, Pamplona)

Spring is in the air and tomorrow starts the COST EU-METAHEART meeting. Tune in at @EU_METAHEART (currently on Twitter/X) for updates on metabolic, vascular and immune mechanisms of HF.

The count down to the start of HFpEF-DIVA has begun #ERA4Health #ANR
