The LVTS is an attractive center:
- For Excellence in Research
- For Education
- For Industrial and clinical transfers
The LVTS UMRS1148 is organised to understand the physiological mechanisms by basic science approaches but also through large clinical trials, development of new diagnostic (markers and imaging) and new therapeutic/biomaterial strategies : identification of new targets, development of new molecules, validated by clinical trials.
The unit is organized into 6 collaborative teams affiliated to 3 different IT (National Institutes) PMN, Technologies for Health, Genetics, and to 2 Inserm scientific sections (CSS3 and CSS7).
More than 240 collaborators working together among which 110 have permanent positions.
We study the heart, its valves, the macro- and micro-circulation at scales ranging from the tissue down to the molecules. We are interested in the interactions that these tissues establish with the immune system, and with the coagulation and thrombotic systems. Additionally, we investigate how genetic, mechanical, metabolic, and environmental factors influence the physiology and pathology of the cardiovascular system.
Our Teams are hosted in 3 locations in the North of Paris:
- in the INSERM building at the Xavier Bichat Hospital (UFR de Médecine; Paris 7 University) with a dedicated 2000m2 research building
- at the UFR Santé Médecine et Biologie humaine (Bobigny; Paris 13 University)
- at the Institut Galilée (Villetaneuse, Paris 13 University)
