Translational aspects of vascular access

Adrien Desjardins, UCL, UK
Recent advances in vascular imaging and blood flow analysis
Maani Hakimi, Lucerne, Switzerland
Different aetiological backgrounds of aortic pathologies
Margreet de Vries, Leiden, The Netherlands
Non-invasive ultra-high frequency ultrasound and photoacoustics imaging: focus on the vessel wall
Erik Klok, Leiden, The Netherlands
Title to be confirmed - will be on thrombosis
​
Workshop
On Friday morning 23 February there will be a workshop 'Advances in -Omics technology'. Click here for more information.
We would particularly encourage researchers to come with their teams and collaborators to present their cross disciplinary work. The meeting will take a similar structure to previous years, starting on Friday through to Saturday lunch time, with keynote lectures from international experts, oral and poster presentations. In addition, a workshop on cutting edge technologies will precede the meeting on Friday morning. The Friday evening networking dinners have been great fun over the past years and will clearly remain a vital aspect of the meeting.
