Molecular Cardiology

The molecular basis of the beat of life

Molecular cardiology is a new and fast-growing area of cardiovascular medicine that applies molecular biology techniques to the investigation, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Many of them are associated with dysfunctions in the electrical signaling that coordinates heart cells contraction, other with innate and acquired immunity activation in cardiac and vascular tissues.

Humanitas research on molecular cardiology aims to better understand the molecular and cellular events leading to cardiovascular diseases, with specific interests in the role played by the inflammatory responses, immune cells, epigenetic regulators and circadian clocks in heart failure, cardiomyopathy and myocarditis.
