FONDATION CARDIOMETABOLISME NUTRITION (ICAN)/ ASSISTANCE PUBLIQUE HOPITAUX DE PARIS (AP-HP)

The Foundation for Innovation in Cardiometabolism and Nutrition (IHU ICAN) is a French centre of excellence, established in 2011 at the heart of the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital. To achieve its mission, ICAN draws on the expertise of its founding members: Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), The National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), and Sorbonne University (SU). IHU ICAN aims to accelerate the translation of preclinical and clinical discoveries to the care of patients suffering from cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. For this purpose, IHU ICAN has developed cutting-edge platforms for translational research, particularly for imaging cardiometabolic tissues and integrating clinical and multi-omics data. In 2019, IHU ICAN supported the establishment of the AP-HP NASH clinic, composed of an interdisciplinary medical team that offers optimized diagnosis and management of fatty liver disease.

IHU ICAN is a proud partner in the LIVERAIM project, sharing its vision to advance liver disease research, raise awareness of its impact, and reduce the growing burden of liver disease. IHU ICAN will contribute to the longitudinal expansion of the European NAFLD Registry cohort study and power the LIVERAIM biomarker research with the knowledge and experience acquired in previous projects, demonstrating its commitment to collaborative and impactful research.
