**Presentation**:
Each year cardiovascular diseases (CVD) cause 3.9 million deaths in Europe, amounting to 45% of all deaths. While certain risk factors like age, smoking and hypertension have been well documented, the impact of blood vessel characteristics is poorly understood. Vascular properties — such as shape and size of the blood vessels — can be investigated with non-invasive and inexpensive imaging methods in some organs, including the retina. For example, the bendiness (also known as “tortuosity”) of retinal vessels has been shown to be associated with increased risk of CVD. However, the extent to which vascular properties extracted from retinal images reflect those of other body parts has not been studied systematically.

Our Sinergia project aims at providing an extensive analysis of vascular properties of the retina and link them to those from other organs, such as the brain or the heart. We will use genetic information about such properties to investigate the biological mechanisms that link vascular properties to CVD. Using machine learning, including Deep learning approaches, we will test whether we can predict CVD risk in the general population, based on vascular properties derived from multi-organ imaging and genetic information.

Our findings have the potential to increase our understanding of the pathological mechanisms leading to CVD and provide tools for the detection of presymptomatic vascular modifications that can support early diagnosis of vascular diseases. The funding period of the project is 48 months.

**Job information**:
**Expected start date**: As soon as possible

**Contract length**: PhDs positions come with a work contract, which is initially for 1 year, and can be extended twice within the funding period.
