This talk will not be available virtually.In this talk, Dr. Lo Sardo will introduce the basic concepts of genetic risk factors for cardiovascular disease and discuss the latest advancements in genetics and genomics related to the leading cause of death in the U.S. and worldwide.
Valentina Lo Sardo’s research focuses on the genetic predisposition to cardiovascular disease. Her work primarily aims to understand how small variations in the human genome confer risk for developing cardiovascular disease, with particular emphasis on variations that are unique to humans and challenging to study in animal models. She employs a unique stem cell–based platform to uncover the biological mechanisms that lead to cardiovascular disease, with the goal of identifying new and unexplored cellular pathways that could be targeted for novel pharmacological treatments.
