MetaCardis presented at the APHP open days in Paris

The MetaCardis project was represented at the annual open house day for the Paris Hospital System (APHP) on 26th May 2018 in Paris. Participants had the opportunity to discover the world of microbiota and patient phenotype exploration facilities in the nutrition department and human research nutrition center facilities at the Pitié-Salpetrière Hospital in Paris.

In three one-hour long sessions, visitors from the public toured through the hospital, where the MetaCardis project was presented at the entrance of the Endocrinology, Metabolic Diseases, and Internal Medecin building at the Pitié-Salpetrière Hospital. Participants were provided with up to date information on the project and EU funding schemes for clinical research.
