Location:
National Institutes of Health
Natcher Conference Center (Building 45)
Bethesda, MD
Event Details:

Unraveling Vascular Inflammation: From Immunology to Imaging is the first symposium of its kind to focus on vascular inflammation emerging research as it relates to immunology, systemic inflammation and multi-modal imaging. The conference will bring together the world’s most renowned experts in the field and potentially lead to critical breakthroughs in ways to understand vascular inflammation as it relates to future cardiovascular disease events.

Participants will explore our evolving understanding of the pathophysiology of vascular inflammation as a risk factor in cardiovascular health and disease, novel approaches to and advances in imaging as a key to understanding vascular inflammation, clinical disease states that provide biological platforms to test modulation of vascular inflammation, and therapeutic approaches to modulate vascular inflammation.
