This new trans-Atlantic collaborative network will aim to answer questions regarding the health effects of polyphenol consumption on cardiometabolic health. We aim to evaluate the capacity of polyphenols to prevent dysfunctions induced by western-type diet consumption that result in the development of CVD and metabolic diseases. Our project will initiate scientific exchanges aiming to define a new research strategy on polyphenols and human health by performing integrated system biology analyses of existing knowledge but also by using mutual knowledge more integrated analyses of results that are being obtained in ongoing projects in both laboratories.
