Pr. Emmanuelle VIDAL-PETIOT

The WP3 Coordinator

Pr Emmanuelle Vidal-Petiot (MD, PhD) is a European Hypertension specialist at Bichat University hospital (France) and Professor of Physiology at Paris University. Her scientific interests are mainly oriented on the mechanisms of blood pressure regulation, on renal physiology, and on the cardiovascular consequences of hypertension and chronic kidney disease. Pr Vidal-Petiot is involved in several clinical and translational research projects on hypertension within the FHU Apollo network, based on very large national or international cohorts.

WP3 Objectives

Atherosclerosis is a heterogeneous disease recognized as primary cause of death worldwide. Conventional risk factors remain under-controlled while a number of so far neglected risk factors are emerging. Immune and inflammatory process play a major role in atherosclerosis genesis and progression. We will use a population-based approach to evaluate immune and nonimmune factors in the general process of atherosclerosis disease. Progress is needed to fill the gap between early clinical development and pivotal trials, by defining validated surrogate markers for clinical outcomes, by developing registry-based randomized trials, and thereby by better targeting therapies.
