      <image:caption>Job Verdonschot finished his bachelor molecular life sciences in 2010 at Maastricht University. With the ambition to combine research and clinic in the future, he combined a research master Cardiovascular Biology and Medicine with a bachelor in medicine.  For his senior internship he joined the clinical group of Prof. Dr. S. Heymans under daily supervision of Drs. Mark Hazebroek to focus on the viral, genetic and metabolic triggers on the development of dilated cardiomyopathy. After multiple internships at the department of clinical genetics at the Academic hospital of Maastricht, he was granted a Kootstra Talent Fellowship on a proposal focused on increasing the diagnostic yield of genetic diagnostics in patients with a dilated cardiomyopathy. His main interest is in (clinical) cardiogenetics, the unraveling of new disease-causing genes and the determination of the pathogenicity of mutations in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Lopez - Natalia LÓPEZ - Pamplona, Spain</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dr. Natalia López-Andrés has dedicated her scientific career to Biology, graduating from this degree at the University of Navarra. She decided to specialize in cardiovascular sciences doing the doctorate at the Division of Cardiovascular Sciences of the University of Navarra, obtaining the PhD in 2006. She holds a postdoctoral position at the Division of Cardiovascular Sciences in the Centre for Applied Medical Research from 2006 to 2008. During these years she worked with a multidisciplinary research team specialized in the study of heart failure. This expertise enabled Natalia Lopez-Andrés to occupy a postdoctoral position at the INSERM, in the unit U961, from 2008 until January 2013. This unit focuses its research in the mechanisms of action and the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects applied to the field of cardiovascular stiffness-fibrosis and hypercoagulability. In 2013, she obtained the competitive Miguel Servet contract that allowed her to build a new research group in Navarrabiomed, the Translational cardiovascular research group, in the interface between clinical and basic research. Over the past 7 years her laboratory has investigated the role of Aldosterone/mineralocorticoid receptor and its biotargets in myocardial, vascular and renal fibrosis. Moreover, the program of her group focuses on the study of heart valve diseases. The Program is part of the “Cardiovascular and Renal Diseases Area” of the Health Research Institute of Navarra (IdiSNA). Dr. Natalia Lopez-Andrés is regularly invited as speaker to many international meetings and congresses. She is author or co-author of 70 publications in international journals. As part of her research career, Dr Natalia López-Andrés has effectively developed contacts and collaborations in other countries and universities to enhance her knowledge and capabilities. Dr. López-Andrés participated as a principal investigator in the European FP7 project Fibrotargets, as a work package leader in the COST action ADMIRE and as principal investigator in national (FIS 2015 and FIS 2018) and regional projects (Salud and Industria, Gobierno de Navarra). Moreover, Dr López-Andrés leaded one project supported by G3 Pharmaceuticals (Boston).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As a basic scientist and researcher, my primary focus lies in the physiopathology of cardiac dysfunction within circulatory diseases, including septic and cardiogenic shock. I have a strong interest in the endocrine system and cell signaling pathways within the cardiac and vascular compartments. My ongoing and future projects aim to better characterize cardio-circulatory failure, elucidate the pathophysiology of vasoplegia and cardiac dysfunction, and explore the immune alterations that lead to organ failure. I also have a great interest in acute heart failure including pregnancy diseases and cardio-oncology. A major goal of my work is to provide critical insights into disease mechanisms and conduct preclinical evaluations of novel drug therapies or drug combinations, which are essential for advancing to First-in-Human and Phase II clinical trials. In 2022, I was awarded a highly competitive permanent research position at Inserm, where I now lead a research team focused on identifying bio-targets in cardio-circulatory failure.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Wouter Ouwerkerk is an enthusiastic researcher  trained in biostatistics, bioinformatics and genetic epidemiology, actively conducting research in the fields of cardiology, dermatology and cancer-immunology.  Wouter is bridging these fields by effectively combining expertise from both fields to achieve high-impact multidisciplinary research. His research is focussed on personalised treatment and systems medicine, using multi-omics high-dimensional data. After successfully completing his PhD he started his post-doctoral research at the dept. dermatology. Here, he build a world-wide consortium to study genetic susceptibility of response to immunotherapy in melanoma patients. At the same time at the National Heart Centre Singapore he continued to pursue his interests in personalised treatment and systems medicine in cardiovascular disease, using high-dimensional data and large observational cohorts.</image:caption>
