Cardiac RNA-mediated (re)programming - March 9 & 10 -

Collaborative symposium of the SNF Sinergia Program "Regenerative strategies for heart disease via targeting the long noncoding transcriptome" and the CVM PhD program FBM-UNIL.

Jeudi 9 mars 2023 - 9h00 au vendredi 10 mars 2023 - 16h00

Agora Paternot Auditorium

Several invited speakers will present latest developments in cardiac biology on March 9 (all day) and the morning of March 10.

Session 1 : Chromatin Regulation

  • Manuel Rosa-Garrido (Birmingham, USA): Remodeling Chromatin Structure as a New Therapeutic Avenue for Heart Failure
  • Raffaella Santoro (Zurich, Switzerland): Genome organization and function
  • Francesco Paneni (Zurich, Switzerland): Epigenetic Control of Inflammation in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
  • Michael Alexanian (San Francisco, USA): Modulating Cell States in Heart Disease

Session 2 : Transcriptomics

  • Daniel Andergassen (Munich, Germany): Uncovering the missing X factors to understand sex bias in cardiovascular disease
  • Ralf Gilsbach (Heidelberg, Germany): Decoding and steering cardiomyocyte enhancers
  • Monika Gladka (Amsterdam, The Netherlands): Single-cell sequencing to identify cardiac repair mechanisms
  • Andrea Caporali (Edinburgh, UK): miRNAs control of revascularisation and vascular diseases 

Session 3 : Noncoding RNAs

  • Rory Johnson (Dublin, Ireland): CRISPR-powered discovery of non-coding RNA therapeutic vulnerabilities
  • Marco Marcia (Grenoble, France): Dissecting biological mechanisms and folding dynamics of medically-relevant large non-coding RNAs
  • Parisa Aghagolzadeh (Basel, Switzerland): Single-cell RNA-Sequencing analysis of the long noncoding RNA transcriptome in cardiac fibroblasts
  • Mauro Giacca (London, UK): RNA therapeutics for cardiac repair

Symposium registration (before February 20 via https://tinyurl.com/RNA-Lausanne2023) is free, but mandatory.

In the afternoon of March 10, paper discussion workshops on the three session topics will be open to doctoral students of the Life Science PhD of the FBM-UNIL (and others on demand). Please choose whether to participate during registration

The UNIL-FBM doctoral school attributes max. 1.25 ECTS to doctoral candidates for participation (0.5 ECTS for participation in the talk sessions only & 0.75 ECTS for workshop participation.


The event will be accredited as continuing education by the Society of Swiss Veterinaries GSTSVS.
