ATHEROREMO European Collaborative Project on Inflamation and Vascular Wall Remodelling in Atherosclerosis

Coordinator: PIRKANMAAN SAIRAANHOITOPIIRIN KUNTAYHTYMA (FI)

The health of the EC population has never been better. However, serious public health problems remain, which cannot be ignored including high levels of premature death due to cardiovascular diseases. Thus, new preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies against atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are needed. The atherosclerotic changes of the vascular wall are central in the development of cardiovascular complications.

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €11.7M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5.5 years from 2008-05-01 to 2013-10-31.
