Molecular Vascular Medicine – Team Lars Maegdefessel

Our team is focused on understanding the therapeutic and biomarker potential of non-coding RNAs in vascular diseases.

About us

The lab aims to determine the microarchitecture of atherosclerotic plaques using multi-omics approaches, such as single cell, bulk and spatial RNA sequencing and proteomics. By using multi-omics data, we aim to identify novel therapies and biomarkers for vascular diseases, such as carotid artery disease and aortic aneurysms.
