Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (CARIM), Maastricht (Netherlands (The))

Member of:

European Society of Cardiology

Prof. Dr. Judith Sluimer works at Maastricht University since 2010, and is honorary lecturer at Edinburgh University. Her Maastricht chair is focussed on cardiovascular pathophysiology. Judith investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying the responses of macrophages and mesenchymal cells in vascular physiology and pathology to cellular stress (hypoxia, autophagy, lipids), and resulting changes in cellular heterogeneity or identity, and intercellular communication. She combines experimental in vivo and in vitro models with single cell sequencing, studies involving human subjects and tissue samples, and non-invasive imaging of vulnerable plaques. In addition to research, teaching and mentoring, she is chair of the Careermanagement committee of the faculty health medicine and life sciences, member of the board of the Division Blood in the cardiovascular research institute Maastricht (CARIM), and the Netherlands vascualr biology society (NeVBO), and treasurer of EVBO.
