On 26th-27th of October University of Studies of Padua hosted the Kick-off Meeting of the newly started #IMPACT project (Cardiogenomics meets Artificial Intelligence: a step forward in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy diagnosis and treatment), funded by the European Union.
IMPACT brings together seven partners from Italy, France and the Netherlands and has the overall aim of better understanding the role and impact of known genes and epigenetic factors on susceptibility, clinical progression, and treatment of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM), a genetic disease that in turn lead to the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
All the partners from the consortium will work together to combine large-scale data from genomics, proteomics and instrumental analysis obtained from patients with data from structural and functional analyses of in vitro and in vivo models.
During this two-days event all the partners had the chance to present their research groups and all the activities that will be carried out during the course of the three-years project.
Stay tuned and follow us for more news on IMPACT upcoming results!
