Inflammation and ECM
Since the beginning of his career, Stephane Heymans has been fascinated by the mechanisms underlying heart failure. During his training as a cardiologist and scientist, he met several young patients that had severe unexplained heart dilated cardiomyopathy, or died suddenly due to viral myocarditis. This triggered his interest to unravel the poorly understood mechanisms for heart failure in general and the susceptibility to viral myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy in particular. [more]
