<\/p>\n

The Department of Biology of the University of Padua was established in October 1983 through the amalgamation of the Institutes of Animal Biology, Botany, and Anthropology, along with the Botanical Garden of Padua and the Marine Biology Station of Chioggia (Venice).<\/p>\n

As the coordinator of the project, UNIDP ensures the project\u2019s objectives align with the terms of the grant and Consortium Agreement (CA). It is tasked with enhancing the stratification of ACM patients, determining the contribution of variants of unknown significance, and developing and characterizing relevant preclinical models. Additionally, it bears responsibility for identifying potential ethical issues and resolving them. UNIPD also collaborates closely with the partners to assess anticipated ethical concerns and address those emerging during the project\u2019s course.<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/p>\n

The School for Cardiovascular Diseases (CARIM) in Maastricht University is a worldwide reference center for the study of gene regulatory mechanisms in the control of genetic and acquired forms of heart failure. In vivo and human in vitro models are routinely used to study human cardiac diseases by applying molecular and cell biological approaches, as well as high throughput genetic screening facilities, transgene\/gene knock-out technology, cardiac phenotyping, and imaging techniques. Since several years, by providing a complete and global landmark for the profiling of microRNAs in heart failure, this Institution is considered a leader in the cardiac epigenetic field worldwide.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht) is a nationally and internationally
\nrecognized expertise center for inherited heart diseases. It hosts a large biobank of
\nblood and tissue (biopsy, autopsy, transplantation) of cardiomyopathy patients. UMC
\nUtrecht serves as a national referral center for patients with arrhythmic
\ncardiomyopathy (ACM) and coordinates a national registry of ACM patients (the
\nNetherlands ACM Registry) that currently includes >2000 ACM patients and
\nrelatives.<\/p>\n

Within IMPACT, UMC Utrecht will bring in data from patients included in the ACM
\nregistry to identify clusters of patients using artificial intelligence. The identified
\nclusters will be validated between modalities (ECG, cardiac imaging, biosamples). In
\naddition, UMC Utrecht will perform advanced -omics studies on ACM tissue samples,
\nincluding single nucleus transcriptomics, in situ capturing, RNA sequencing and
\nproteomics. These results will subsequently feed into other work packages to identify
\npossible drug targets.<\/p>\n
