Speakers
OVERVIEW
Vascular Discovery: From Genes to Medicine Scientific Sessions 2018 (Formerly ATVB|PVD Scientific Sessions) is organized by American Heart Association (AHA) and will be held during May 10 - 12, 2018 at Hilton San Francisco Union Square, San Fransisco, California, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is Basic scientists, Translational and Clinicians interested in Vascular Health, Vascular Medicine, Vascular Biology, Thrombosis, Thromboembolism, Molecular/cellular biology, Vascular Biology.
This meeting provides unique opportunities to meet with colleagues from around the world with wide-ranging research interests and expertise within the research communities of arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, vascular biology. The primary goal of this conference is to provide a forum for the timely exchange of information about new and emerging scientific research in lipids and lipoproteins, arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, vascular biology, genomics and peripheral vascular disease.
One of the areas of emphasis for this conference is to encourage interactions between young scientists and more senior scientists in their research area to foster dialogue and facilitate the exchange of ideas. The format of the conference, with many invited presentations as well as a dedicated focus on poster presentations, is intended to maximize a thought-provoking flow of information and discourse among scientists.
