Conference Summary
The three-and-a-half-day conference is for a broad audience principally made up of basic investigators promoting interaction among participants from diverse disciplines through lectures, poster presentations and informal discussions.
The poster sessions provide opportunities for investigators in the early stages of their careers to present new research and interact with more established investigators
"This conference brings the best basic and translational scientists together in a more informal setting. It’s now a ‘must attend’ meeting for those dedicated to basic cardiovascular sciences."
