ESC Working Group on Development, Anatomy & Pathology

Our mission is to bridge scientific discovery and clinical practice. We unite scientists and clinicians across disciplines – from molecular biology and genetics to cardiology – to preserve the vital link between science and care in an era of advanced imaging and interventions.

Who we are

Uniting science and practice to advance cardiovascular development, anatomy & pathology

Our research dives deep into the molecular and genetic layers of cardiovascular health, always with a clear goal: turning scientific insight into real-world impact. 

We believe progress happens when people connect. That’s why we bring together researchers, clinicians, and educators across the ESC community to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and spark innovation. 

By championing the clinic-pathologic correlation method, we help bridge the gap between lab discoveries and patient care – so science doesn’t just stay in the lab, it reaches the people who need it most.
