معرفی
Dr. Heidi Noels is a Researcher at the Institute for Molecular Cardiovascular Research (IMCAR) within the Medical Faculty of RWTH Aachen University. Her work bridges cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD), focusing on molecular mechanisms linking renal dysfunction to cardiovascular complications.
- Current Affiliation: IMCAR, RWTH Aachen University
- Collaborations: Saarland University, University Hospital Aachen, European Uremic Toxin Work Group
Research Focus: Dr. Noels investigates uremic cardiomyopathy, vascular calcification, inflammatory signaling, and platelet abnormalities in CKD. Her studies explore how uremic toxins drive endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis, using murine models and meta-analyses of clinical data.
Publication Trends: Recent work highlights renal-cardiac crosstalk (2025), chemokine pathways in myocardial repair, and mitochondrial dysfunction in CKD. She contributes to endothelial cell studies, complement receptor signaling, and dietary interventions like the Mediterranean diet in aging populations.
Lab & Consortium Involvement: Dr. Noels is integral to the SFB/TRR219 Research Centre, a collaborative effort between Aachen University Hospital and Saarland University, aiming to translate findings into therapies for CKD-associated cardiovascular risks.
