E37: Soheil Saeedi, Cesare Canepari & Berkan Kurt

How do we beat atherosclerosis? In this special EAS Stage session, we bring together three rising scientists tackling that single question from completely different angles. Dr Soheil Saeedi (University of Zurich) explores cardiovascular aging and how a gut microbial metabolite can drive endothelial senescence. Dr Cesare Canepari (San Raffaele Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy) makes the case for gene therapy and genome editing to actually cure familial hypercholesterolemia. Dr Berkan Kurt (University Hospital Aachen) brings the clinician-scientist's perspective on inflammation, hsCRP, and emerging biomarkers, straight from the bedside. Three labs, three countries, three toolkits, one disease.
