Maastricht University (UM)
Welcome to Maastricht University! What if we could slow down vascular ageing by targeting the cells where the first signs of ageing occur? Join an ambitious, NWO VICI-funded research project at CARIM (Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht) investigating the role of mesenchymal cells and their metabolism in vascular ageing. By combining multi-omics approaches with functional and metabolic studies, you will help identify new therapeutic targets to delay vascular ageing and cardiovascular disease.
