Belgium“ICAN is an ambitious, forward-looking, international centre of excellence at the cutting edge of cardiometabolic research. Its work in this field is highly relevant, given the current rise in obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The ICAN approach is unique in that it focuses on communication between organs.

The Scientific Advisory Board was particularly pleased to note the depth and scope of ICAN’s research, which draws on advanced technological platforms to collect and use a multitude of data, linking basic and clinical research to optimise the application of results. Early and mid-career scientists who attended the meeting emphasised that the future of the ICAN mission is bright.”
