The fourth TO_AITION webinar, titled “Common Mechanisms of Mood Disorders and Cardiovascular Disease”, took place on September 23, 2024, via the ESC 365 platform. This insightful session, hosted by Dr. Emma Raitoharju (Tampere University), featured expert talks from Prof. Jos Bosch (University of Amsterdam) and Asst. Prof. Rick Quax (University of Amsterdam).
The webinar explored the intricate biological networks linking cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mood disorders (MD), offering a fresh perspective on their shared mechanisms. Key discussion points included:
🔹 Understanding the complexity of biological pathways connecting CVD and MD
🔹 Why traditional statistical methods struggle to reconstruct these networks
🔹 Distinguishing between association and causal networks
🔹 Identifying key biomarkers using novel techniques
🔹 New approaches for validating synergistic associations with large datasets
Attendees gained valuable insights into how these conditions are interlinked, challenging the conventional ‘single-cause’ paradigm in biomedical science.
