CBSET is a proud member of the DECODE Consortium, a recipient of a European Union Horizon 2020 / Marie Curie training grant.
DECODE focuses on the training of young scientists on the use of drug-eluting devices to combat the burden of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Consortium members provide young researchers with excellent scientific, technological and complementary skills through a multidisciplinary training programme focused on all aspects of drug coated balloon therapies for PAD. In addition to co-supervising and hosting ESRs 6 and 13 for a secondment, CBSET has also provided in vivo preclinical experimental support to the program with imaging and bioanalysis data.
ESR 6 Efstathios Stratakos and ESR13 Linnea Tscheuschner on secondment at CBSET, working with CBSET scientists.
