New therapies for heart and lung diseases

The Swedish CArdioPulmonarybioImage Study (SCAPIS) combines the use of new imaging technologies, advances in large-scale omics, Swedish registers and epidemiological analyses and wellness profiling. The information obtained will be used to combat cardiopulmonary diseases.

The seminar. organized by IVAs division for Biotechnology, presents the latest developments in the project and the potential for future research by collaborations with major Swedish research infrastructures.
