INTRICARE EU Horizon 2020 Marie Curie ITN course in collaboration with DEVREG. Sept 2018

Our INTRICARE EU Horizon 2020 Marie Curie ITN course covered some of the latest advances in cardiovascular medicine: from basic to translational research with added value for transferable skills and on the implementation of the sex and gender perspectives in preclinical and clinical research.

In five days with more than 60 participants and more than 36 lecture topics, this course has served not only as an advanced platform for learning, but also presented a unique setting to encourage cooperation and the generation of ideas. Although slightly challenging for the course organizers trying to keep track of everyone involved, the biggest reward has been acknowledged by our international collaborators and students indicating how the concept of ‘internationalization’ should be integrated in research content of educational activities to strengthen international competitiveness while providing an innovative, high-quality diverse course portfolio at university.

Matera Alliance

The Matera Resolution was drafted in April 2016 by an inaugural group of advocates to create a strategy and develop recommendations to improve the evidence base and applicability of drug trial results to women in real world settings. Recent research evidence and the various activities launched with different stakeholders, including regulatory and funding organizations, journal editors, government agencies, industry and patient sectors are discussed.

CIHR Institute of Gender and Health

The Institute of Gender and Health (IGH)'s mission is to foster research excellence regarding the influence of sex and gender on health and to apply these findings to identify and address pressing health challenges facing men, women, girls, boys and gender-diverse people. Dr Cara Tannebaum is DEVREG's contact at IGH.
 

CaReSyAn

CardioRenal Syndrome Analysis (CaReSyAn) was a project funded by the European Union’s 2020 research and innovation programme, with the aim of reducing cardiovascular burden in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The consortium consisted of academic institutes and industry partners across Europe and hosted 11 early stage researchers (ESRs), who were trained in both scientific and transferable skills throughout their PhD studies. ESRs also had the opportunity to spend three months in alternative laboratories to further develop expertise in their specific research fields, as well as to participate in consortium-run workshops.

One of these positions was hosted at Karolinska Institutet and held by Sam Hobson, originally from England, United Kingdom. During his PhD, he investigated premature ageing in patients with cardiorenal syndrome and examined the effects of senolytic drugs targeting senescent cells. The PhD programme included several required deliverables, such as a podcast, annual reports, and scientific publications. In his podcast, Sam described the aims and scope of his doctoral project.
