Professor Sagartirtha Sarkar, heads the Genetics and Molecular Cardiology Laboratory at the University of Calcutta since 2005. After obtaining his Ph.D. degree in the field of Molecular Genetics,he completed his postdoctoral research tenure at the Department of Molecular cardiology, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ohio, USA and served as a visiting scientist in Department of Medicine, University of California, San Diego. Hisgroup is one of the few laboratories in India which studies molecular mechanism of cardiac diseases (pathological hypertrophy and MI) with a view to understand disease pathogenesis and to develop therapeutics.Apart from identifying major signaling cascades and cellular crosstalk with novel therapeutic targets, he has successfully developed and patented a nano-particle based targeted drug delivery system. This delivery system can successfully deliver therapeutic molecules, siRNAs and DNA vectors directly to the diseased cardio-myocytes in vivo resulting in improved efficacy of therapeutics with low bystander cytotoxic effects. This unique delivery system has the potential to change the therapeutic approach of diseased myocardium in near future. In addition, his laboratory has developed a method to regulate expression of protein of interest in cardio-myocytes in preclinical animal models, which has implications in assessing the functional role of that protein in the preclinical scenario. Prof. Sarkar’s group is currently working towards establishing myocardial tissue engineering, with an aim to induce terminally differentiated resident myocyte cells from diseased heart to develop self-regeneration capacity. 22Ph.D.and 7 M.Philstudents have obtainedtheir degree under his supervision till date. He has authored several high impact publications,books andbook chapters. He is a fellow of National Academy of Sciences, India, West Bengal Academy of Science &Technology and an elected member of the Guha Research Conference (GRC, India).

Ali Hassan: I am a fourth-year medical student at King’s College London with a dedicated interest in cardiology. I completed an intercalated BSc in Cardiovascular Medicine at King's College London, a British Heart Foundation Centre for Excellence. I undertook a project at the James Black Centre department of Cardiology, focusing on organoid technology, which enhanced my understanding of genomics within cardiology and the pre-clinical underpinnings of cardiac intervention. Additionally, I gained in-depth knowledge of clinical cardiology, including its manifestations and treatment pathways. I also furthered my clinical skills by engaging with echocardiography and point of care ultrasound. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to advancing in the field of cardiology, bridging both research and clinical practice. Mueed Ijaz: I am a fourth-year medical student at King’s College London with an interest in cardiology and healthcare management. Recently completing an MSc in Health Policy and Health Economics from the London School of Economics (LSE), I engaged in cardiology-related management, regulation, and health technology assessment projects. My research focuses on evaluating the cost-effectiveness of new technologies and enhancing healthcare policies in cardiology. I presented a HTA at the 2024 European Health Economics Association conference. My clinical rotations provided hands-on experience in cardiology, working alongside cardiologists, and participating in interventional procedures, deepening my understanding of patient care and cardiac interventions' complexities.
