🫀In both Europe and worldwide, #Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability. 🔬At the Luxembourg Institute of Health, Miron Sopic is investigating the links between various #RNA molecules, their modifications, and #CardiovascularDiseases in order to improve treatment. More specifically, Miron’s postdoctoral project centers on #epitranscriptomics, a relatively new field of study. His current project is exploring whether a specific type of RNA modification, known as #m6A (methylated adenosine), can be used to stratify patients with myocardial infarction. 🌐Together with Yvan Devaux, Miron Sopić is also involved in the COST Action AtheroNET, which focuses on the application of #multiomics tools to improve the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD). ⭐In #Luxembourg, Miron has found a place with a strong emphasis on translating #research into real-world applications, particularly through #collaboration with the private sector. The country's research ecosystem is designed to foster innovation and facilitate the commercialisation of scientific discoveries. #MSCAPF #CVDS #ResearchLuxembourg #TranslationalMedicine #PersonalisedHealthcare MSCA SE CardioSCOPE https://lnkd.in/ed7spFHc
