This event brings together opinion leaders, researchers, experts and cardiologists from all over the globe to present current research, best practices, recommendations, new technologies and new tools relating to arterial hypertension and cardiovascular protection.

For the first time, on the 12th of June, Quantum Genomics will be holding a symposium for nearly 400 participants, led by Pr. Pierre Corvol, President of the Scientific Committee, and Pr. Michel Azizi, Director of the Clinical Investigation Centre of the Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou in Paris and investigator of the phase IIA clinical trial for drug candidate QGC001, on the subject of:

Brain Aminopeptidase A Inhibitors (BAPAIs), an emerging class

for the treatment of Hypertension and Heart Failure

  • The mechanism of action of this innovative therapeutic treatment and a synthesis of the promising results obtained in arterial hypertension will be presented by Dr. Llorens-Cortes, Director of the INSERM Unit which carried out the initial research into QGC001.
  • Pr. Leenen, of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, will describe their current work into the use of QGC001 in heart failure and the new encouraging results obtained in animals for this indication.
  • Pr. Laurent, of Paris Descartes University, will highlight the importance of BAPAIs in the current therapeutic arsenal and their contribution towards currently unsatisfied medical needs.

At this event, a scientific presentation will also be led by Dr. Yannick Marc, researcher at Quantum Genomics, working within the joint laboratory CADIOBAPAI at the Collège de France.

The presence of Quantum Genomics at this congress, the most important international meeting in the field of arterial hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, will further enhance the visibility and reputation of QGC001 within the international scientific community.
