BIH Professor Dr. Carsten Tschöpe honored with Brutsaert Lecture at HFA Winter Research Meeting in Berlin

BIH Professor Dr. Carsten Tschöpe received special recognition at the “HFA Winter Meeting on Translational Heart Failure Research” in Berlin. He delivered the prestigious Brutsaert Lecture to an international audience—an honor linked to a lifetime achievement award in translational cardiovascular research, with a particular emphasis on immunocardiology. In his lecture, Tschöpe addressed heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and the immunological and inflammatory mechanisms underlying the disease.

The lecture is named after Prof. Dirk L. Brutsaert, a pioneering heart failure researcher and co-founder of the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Tschöpe heads the clinical part of Immunocardiology Research Group at the BIH Center for Regenerative Therapies (BCRT). His work focuses on heart failure and inflammatory heart diseases such as myocarditis and cardiomyopathies, with a strong emphasis on translating immunocardiological insights into clinically relevant diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

The HFA Winter Meeting is an internationally recognized forum for basic and translational research in heart failure, dedicated to scientific exchange and the presentation of cutting-edge results. Founded in 1983 by Prof. Brutsaert, the meeting is now organized by the ESC in collaboration with the German Heart Center Foundation.
