Cardiology

Robert Roberts completed his undergraduate (Memorial University), Medical school (Dalhousie University) and training in cardiology (University of Toronto) in Canada. He was recruited to Washington University in St. Louis as Director of the Coronary Care unit (1973-1982). In 1982 he was recruited to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston as Chief of Cardiology where he served for 23 years and was recruited as President and CEO of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI) where he completed two 5 year terms (2004 to 2014). He developed the first quantitative assay for MBCK, followed by a radioimmunoassay. MBCK was used as the gold standard to diagnose heart attacks for three decades. He discovered several genes for the familial cardiomyopathies, including the first gene for atrial fibrillation, WPW Syndrome and CAD (9p21) along with co-discoverer of over 90 genetic risk variants predisposing to CAD and 95 genetic variants regulating plasma lipids. As a pioneer of molecular cardiology, he edited the first textbook on molecular cardiology. Dr. Roberts is recognized as a leader in the research and practice of cardiology worldwide. Dr. Roberts for 25 years has been associate Editor of Hurst The Heart, a leading textbook in cardiology. Dr. Roberts is Editor in Chief of Current Opinion in Cardiology, Chief Guest Editor of JACC BTS, Genomics Section Editor for JACC, Associate Editor of Cardiology Today and on the editorial board of 18 other journals. In recognition of his scientific contributions (over 900 publications). Dr. Roberts has had a distinguished and prolific international career as a Cardiologist, Educator, Scientist and spokesman having lectured throughout the world including several prestigious presentations: Plenary addresses of the American College of Cardiology, (Simon Dack Lectureship), the Japanese College of Cardiology, the Japanese College of Circulation, the Australian and New Zealand Heart Association (Hall Lecture), the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, Indonesian Heart Society and the International Academy of Cardiology. In 2013 he addressed The Royal Canadian Institute for the advancement of science. Under Dr. Roberts leadership, the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI) flourished. He founded and directed The Ruddy Canadian Cardiovascular Genetics Centre, and established The Research Methods Centre.

Marco Picichè completed his Graduation in Medicine from University of Florence in 1995 and Cardiac Surgery Residency at Tor Vergata University of Rome in 2000, both summa cum laude. He held regular teaching appointments at the University of Montpellier-School of Medicine; obtained certification by the French board in Cardiac Surgery (Paris, 2007); earned his Research Master’s in Surgical Science (Paris, 2007) and; received a University Diploma in Vascular Surgery (Paris, 2007). In Canada, he authored a research project on the occlusion of the internal mammary arteries as an alternative method of myocardial blood supply. In September 2011, he received PhD degree in Therapeutic Innovations from Paris-Sud University. He is the Editor in Chief of the book: “Dawn and Evolution of Cardiac Procedures: Research Avenues in Cardiac Surgery and Interventional Cardiology” (Springer-Verlag publishing house, September 2012). He patented a new surgical instrument. Currently, he is a Cardiac Surgeon in Italy.

Cardiology and its line

Carola Förster has a convincing track record in (neuro)physiology with a strong focus on the (dis)functions of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). A significant aspect of her research is related to regulation of gene expression at the BBB, specifically by non-coding RNA, particular microRNA, to offer pharmacological solutions to the observed BBB alterations. For this, CF systematically studies the mechanisms from gene regulation, through transcription, to protein degradation and cellular morphology, linking basic science with clinical aspects. After years of experience in research, evaluation, teaching and administration both in hospital and education institutions, CF developed different in vitro and in vivo models of cerebrovascular disease and established recently a division of computational model to further strengthen this area of research.

Roberto Manfredini, MD, is full professor of Internal Medicine, Director of the Department of Medical Sciences at the University of Ferrara, Italy, and Head of the Clinica Medica Unit, General Hospital of Ferrara, Italy. He has expertise in clinical chronobiology, and he contributed in the identification of rhythmic occurrence of acute cardiovascular diseases along time, eg, hour of the day, day of the week, and month/season of the year. This innovative temporal approach to cardiovascular diseases, i.e., myocardial infarction, acute aortic diseases, pulmonary embolism, stroke, has opened up the potential for improving healthcare via a temporized drug administration (chronotherapy). He has built this innovative knowledge after years of experience in research and teaching both in hospital and education institutions.
