An international collaboration is helping Tanita discover a better way to repair heart valves

During MD Tanita Drejer Jeppesen’s PhD project, a pivotal and highly valuable collaboration developed with colleagues from Leiden University Medical Centre. After discovering a shared interest in aortic valve repair with Associate Professor Jesper Hjortnaes, a new side project began. Together with their teams, they aspire to discover better and more durable ways to repair heart valves rather than replace them.

Novel ways to improve prevention of cardiovascular disease in people with type 2 diabetes

Tummas Ternhamar has recently published a paper from his PhD project in the Lancet Regional Health – Europe on the use of statins and cardioprotective glucose-lowering drugs and risk of first-time cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes. By using real-world data, Tummas’s goal is to support more informed treatment decisions and better long-term health outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes.
