Autoimmune Diseases and Cardiovascular Risk

Published on December 15, 2022

In 2022, Nathalie Conrad, an epidemiologist at KU Leuven, completed a research project which shows that patients with autoimmune disorders live with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The paper was published in The Lancet. In this blog post she talks to us about her research, her career and her expectations for the upcoming Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.

Orginally invited to the postponed 70th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in 2020 and waiting to come to Lake Constance, Nathalie Conrad will participate in the 72nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting next summer. Lindau Alumni and Young Scientists from Belgium or neighbouring regions interested in meeting other participants in the run-up of #LINO23 can reach out to Nathalie via the Lindau Alumni Network.
