UNRAVEL – multi-species cardiac research platform

UNRAVEL – multi-species cardiac research platform

UNRAVEL platform has started in 2013 by collecting clinical and genetic information and biobanking blood and cardiac tissue from human cardiomyopathy patients and their family members treated at Department of Cardiology and Department of Medical Genetics, UMC Utrecht: https://www.unravelrdp.nl/. In 2021 also similar collection of clinical, genetic data and blood and cardiac tissue from veterinary patients (companion animals: cats and dogs) treated at the Department of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University was added. This platform allows an unprecedented resource for translational medicine.
