Researchers from the attended the 2024 Annual Scientific Meeting from October 16 to 18.
This year, the event was held over three days as a stand-alone meeting, allowing attendees to focus on cutting-edge science related to vascular biology.
Almost 70 participants came along to the Mantra Lorne in beautiful Lorne, Victoria, which was perfect for sparking inspiration and collaboration.
of Columbia University, USA was an esteemed international guest and speaker at the meeting, delivering a fascinating plenary address.
Among the attendees from HRI, from the gave a selected talk titled ‘Females exhibit greater endothelial dysfunction, impairing vascular healing in diabetes-associated ‘, and also chaired a session.
“The conference was a fantastic opportunity to hear about the latest research and connect with other scientists from the vascular biology community,” Dr Cartland said.
HRI was a gold sponsor of the meeting, which featured several student and early- and mid-career researcher-focused sessions.
