Workshop Theravaldis

In data de 19 septembrie 2019, a avut loc la București, in Aula Academiei Române, primul Workshop Internațional Theravaldis intitulat “Cardiac valves disease: New targets for therapies and tissue engineering”.

Workshopul a fost organizat cu ocazia Simpozionului Aniversar IBPC “N.Simionescu” la 40 de ani, in cadrul Programului Operational Competitivitate (POC) 2014-2020, Axa 1.1.4 , proiect ID:37-298

Evenimentul a avut ca obiectiv prezentarea rezultatelor oținute in cadrul proiectului Tharavaldis, precum și prezentarea unor noi direcții de cercetare in domeniul terapiilor inovative ale bolilor valvelor cardiace. Proiectul de cercetare este manageriat de Dr. Agneta Simionescu, Clemson University, USA si de Dr. Ileana Manduteanu, ICBP “N. Simionescu.

In programul workshopului au fost prezentate:

  • Werner Franke: ”The special molecular organization of major structures in valvular cells”
  • Dan Simionescu: “The VALVE-REGEN project; extracellular matrix scaffolds, adult stem cells and bioreactors for cardiac valve tissue regeneration”
  • Ileana Manduteanu: “Early diabetes associated alterations of aortic heart valves in a murine model of arteriosclerosis”
  • Radu Deac: “The pericardium – biological tissue for artificial heart valves “
  • Manuela Calin: “The innovative nanotherapeutics designed for targeted delivery of shRNA to diseased aortic valve”
  • Agneta Simionescu: “Tissue Engineered Mitral Valve” (1)
  • Alexandru Fillipi: “Early diabetes induces alterations in endothelial progenitor cell phenotype and homing in a murine model of atherosclerosis”
  • Elena Butoi: “3D aortic valve leaflet: a model to study the effect of diabetes in valve calcification”
