- Ischemic heart disease remains the foremost cause of death worldwide and the risk to develop heart failure in surviving patients is high. Heart failure itself is a serious condition with 50% mortality at five years, it costs over $100 billion each year globally and, at late stages of disease, the only definitive cure is heart transplantation. In this talk, Dr M. Noseda from Imperial College London describes leading-edge scientific approaches that she uses to explore the marvels of the heart one cell at the time, and to identify novel molecular and cellular therapies for cardiac repair and regeneration (projects funded by the British Heart Foundation). Dr. Michela Noseda received her medical training at the Catholic University in Rome before embarking on her research career at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She studied angiogenesis, cardiac development and regeneration at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) and Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas) prior to relocating to London, at Imperial College. Dr Noseda is using high-throughput approaches and cutting-edge single cell technologies to build the knowledge required for strategies leading to cardiac regeneration and self-repair. The ultimate goal being reduction of cardiac muscle damage following heart attacks and, consequently, decreasing the progression towards fatal heart failure. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Excellent presentation. What a star!!!!
Thank you for sharing Michela - lovely to meet you
incredible potential to save lives
Amazing!
The idea and topic are interesting - the presentation however was horrible. Disorganized and hard to follow, if I didn't already know a lot of the terms she randomly throws into the audience, I'd be completely lost.
