Welcome to Research
We aim to improve personalized risk prediction, prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of atherosclerotic and thrombotic cardiovascular diseases.
See some of the most important goals for this research program.
Amanda Kiliaan's research group studies (cerebro)vascular risk factors for AD (hypertension, stroke, cSVD, obesity) using innovative neuroimaging and cognitive/motor tests, from mouse models to postmortem human brain and morbid obesity.
Nico Sommerdijk's research group investigates the mechanisms of collagen assembly and mineralization in health and disease, with focus on processes in bone formation and heart valve calcification.
Niels van Royen's research group aims to develop new diagnostic and interventional strategies for patients with atherosclerotic disease.
