Exciting Milestone Alert! We're thrilled to announce that in August, we successfully completed the first sequencing run for CARDIOCARE! Following a thorough review of our bioinformatics analyses, we’ve identified statistically significant findings—both novel insights and replicated results from existing literature. While these preliminary results are promising, we need to gather additional patient samples before we can share our findings with the broader community. Notably, our early results have confirmed several expected effects based on our literature review, underscoring the quality of our samples and findings. A heartfelt thank you to all our clinical sites ( University Hospital of Ioannina, Bank of Cyprus Oncology Centre, IEO Istituto Europeo di Oncologia, Ιατρική Σχολή ΕΚΠΑ/ NKUA Medical School, Karolinska University Hospital, Institute of Oncology Ljubljana, European Society of Cardiology) across Europe for their dedication and hard work in adhering to the protocols for sample collection, storage, and shipping to Cyprus. Also many thanks to all the technical partners ( Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH), IMS Health, Philips, Hellenic Mediterranean University) and the coordination team ( University of Ioannina) for getting us here!. #CARDIOCARE #Metagenomics #ScienceInAction #EUfunded #HealthInnovation #DataForGood #Horizon
