About this episode

Professor Leon De Windt discusses his research on micro-RNAs of the heart and their implications in regenerative medicine.

In this episode, Professor Leon De Windt, co-founder of miRabilis Therapeutics at Maastricht University explains his journey of working with micro – RNA’s of the heart. He shares his path from America to Utrecht to now Maastricht and the different research carried out throughout. How are non – coding RNA’s linked to regenerative medicine?
