In the second episode of our Special Interviews Series with Institute Directors we invited Dr Alain Tedgui, former Director of the Paris-Centre de Recherche Cardiovasculaire (PARCC, 2009-2018).Dr Tedgui gave us a wonderful overview of the strategies behind the founding of PARRC as a major French scientific institute dedicated to study cardiovascular disease as well as the original plans that were initiated in the 70s for the realization of this novel Institution. Dr Tedgui also explained to us his life and professional journey, coming to France from Algeria as a young boy and progressing to become a highly recognized scientist working on atherosclerosis, which is still the topic that keeps him busy nowadays, despite the fact that he ‘officially’ retired a few years ago!
Dr Andreas Daiber, full Professor in Molecular Cardiology at the University Medical Center Mainz in Germany, has specialized in the study of noise and its consequences on cardiovascular health.
During the episode we will cover lots of interesting aspects including: what is noise? How does it impact our health? When are we more vulnerable to the effects of noise? And, very importantly, what can we do to counteract noise to safeguard our health?
Dr. Roberta Foresti, BenBedPhar member, Professor of the University Paris Est Créteil and working at the Mondor Institute of Biomedical Research, is organizing an exciting podcast that will explore and discuss the fascinating world of enzymes and molecules and their role in nature and human biology.
