Heart scarring matters.

Dr. Uyen Chau Nguyen studies why pacemakers help some heart failure patients — and not others — to optimize therapy where it counts.

#CARIMday2025 #Veni #Cardiology

Thrilled and honoured to chair the #VeniVidiVici session at #CARIMday2025! It's inspiring to see so many talented researchers achieving success in securing grants. Especially proud to serve as Chair of the Carim Research Council and witness this incredible progress! 👏🎉 @carimmaastricht.bsky.social

📈 The aorta holds clues to personalised hypertension therapy.

@bartspronck.bsky.social will use real-world data + computer modelling to tailor treatment to each patient.

#CARIMday2025 #PrecisionMedicine #VascularScience #Vidi

@sabinedaemen.bsky.social investigates how immune cells can repair liver fibrosis. A big step toward fighting one of the world’s most pressing metabolic diseases and emerging CVD risk factor.

#CARIMday2025 #MASLD #Veni

🎓✨ During the first session of #CARIMday2025, we hand the stage to outstanding researchers who earned prestigious NWO Talent Scheme grants (Veni-Vidi-Vici).
