Frontiers in Health Sciences seminar series continues with a presentation from professor Reinier Boon on "How endothelial cells and non-coding RNAs regulate cardiac aging". 

Since 2019 Reinier Boon is a professor at the Amsterdam UMC and at the Goethe University in Frankfurt. Reinier received his PhD degree with honors in 2008 from the Academic Medical Center of the University of Amsterdam. After his post-doc project in the Institute for Cardiovascular Regeneration in Frankfurt, Germany, Dr. Boon continued there as a junior group leader. He received multiple awards for his work on the role of small and long non-coding RNAs in aging of the cardiovascular system, for instance the Outstanding Achievement Award of the European Society of Cardiology in 2019. Dr. Boon’s research is mainly funded by the German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK), the European Research Council (Consolidator grant), the Dutch Heart Foundation (DHF) and the European Union (Horizon 2020). Current research is focused on non-coding RNA and aging of the cardiovascular system, in particular in the context of heart failure.

The seminar is organized by the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Eastern Finland.

The event is open to everyone interested. Welcome!
