New cardiology chair for Universit de Montral

Montreal, QC – The Universit de Montral and the Institut de Cardiologie de Montral will this week officially inaugurate the Universit de Montral Philippa and Marvin Carsley cardiology chair.

The chair will focus on the genetics and pharmacogenomics of the heart. It will have three mandates: it will focus on research into genetic heart disease, it will serve to create a clinic dedicated to genetic heart disease, and it will serve to train and inform the scientific community of its research findings. Dr Mario Talajic is holder of the chair.
