Our aims are to discover new determinants of the main phenotypes of cardiovascular diseases, in the general population, and also in populations at risk. These activities are conducted in western countries but also in developed countries for specific disease. For that purpose, we develop an integrative epidemiology approach with transdisciplinary collaborations including epidemiologists, statisticians, cardiologists, immunologists, geriatrics, pathologists and nephrologists.
The team is headed by Pr Xavier Jouven and Dr Jean-Philippe Empana
The 4 main axes of our research are briefly mentioned below:
Module 1: Sudden death in the population. The Paris Sudden Death Expertise Center
Module 2: Novel determinants of cardiovascular diseases: a multimarker approach
Module 3: Global Health – Cardiology and development: Epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases in developing countries
Module 4: Epidemiology of immuno-atherosclerosis: The Paris Transplant Group
