Schurgers Lab

At Schurgers Lab, we are dedicated to unraveling the mechanisms behind vascular remodeling, ageing and calcification and its impact on cardiovascular health. Led by Professor Leon Schurgers, a renowned expert in vascular biology, our team focuses on understanding how vascular smooth muscle cells impact vascular disease associated with ageing, such as atherosclerosis, vascular stiffness, aortic valve disease and aneurym. By bridging basic science and clinical applications, we aim to develop innovative solutions for complex medical challenges.
