About us
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.
