Mission and Goals

To uncover at the cellular and molecular level the pathobiochemical alterations occurring in the heart and blood vessels which lead to atherosclerosis, diabetes, ageing, metabolic syndrome;

• To translate the knowledge "from bench to bedside" for patients benefit: prevention, early diagnosis, better therapeutic control, and ultimately cure of cardiovascular diseases.

MAJOR GOALS
• Biomedical Research
Cellular and molecular biology and pathobiochemistry of the cardiovascular system;


• Teaching and Education
• Master and Ph.D. programs, specialization, post-universitary training courses;
• Promotion of modern Cell Biology and Pathology in Romania;
• International collaborations and exchanges.

We are a team of 100 individuals: senior and young investigators (biochemists, biophysicists, chemists, biologists, physicists) trained in prestigious laboratories in United States and Europe, technicians and administrative staff.

The Institute occupies a five-floor building of ~4,000 m2 out of which ~3,000 m2 reside in laboratory space.
