We are excited to announce our collaboration with National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS). By merging our expertise in bat genomics and drug discovery with the groundbreaking cardiovascular research of Derek Hausenloy's group at NHCS, we hope to discover new therapeutic options to improve patient outcomes.
NHCS is collaborating with Paratus Sciences through the "PREVENT-HF" research platform to delve deeper into bat heart physiology, leveraging NHCS’ expertise in generating human patient-specific beating heart cells with Paratus Sciences’ innovative discovery platform. Prof Derek Hausenloy, Director, National Heart Research Institute Singapore (NHRIS), NHCS, shared, “We are proud to partner Paratus Sciences on this novel initiative to uncover what lies beneath the unique make-up of the hearts of bats that sets it apart from other mammals. There is so much we can learn from the bat’s exceptionally high metabolic rate and efficient heart system, and we look forward to identifying the key factors that can protect the human heart and enhance patient outcomes.” Read more from the Chinese article, Lianhe Zaobao: https://lnkd.in/gYWndJzP Read original press release here: Bats Reveal Superior Adaptation To Endure Heart Stress: https://lnkd.in/gbCAqaH8 #Bats #BatHearts #HeartFailure #Cells #HeartCells #NHCS #Paratus #MedicalResearch
