Mechanistic Integration of vascular aND endocrine pathways for Subtyping Hypertension: an Innovative network approach for Future generation research Training

Hypertension constitutes the primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Despite our understanding of the causes of hypertension, which has led to improved clinical management, millions of European citizens still suffer from cardiovascular disease. To improve current treatment options, the EU-funded MINDSHIFT project aims to understand how the vascular and endocrine pathways interact in hypertension. For this purpose, MINDSHIFT will offer a high-quality programme of research projects and network-wide training elements and provide early-stage researchers with in-depth professional and transferable competence skills. Moreover, through the establishment of a European School for Hypertension Research, the project's partners hope to fuel future research in the field.
