We hope to see all of you at our annual meeting Vascular Biology 2008 at EB2008 in San Diego. At this wonderful inter-disciplinary meeting, we will be a guest society of ASIP. Vascular Biology 2008, in a sense, is a small meeting within a large meeting, and thereby offers the best of both! The topics for the program were developed from NAVBO member suggestions with further refinements made by the Program Committee.* One goal in developing this program was to integrate basic science with understanding mechanisms of vascular disruption that contribute to human disease. The meeting will kick off with the Blood Vessel Club, a tradition started in 1975 by members of various FASEB organizations and managed by NAVBO since 1994. We invite all of you to submit your latest work to be presented as a blitz (short talk) at the Blood Vessel Club. Our Welcome Reception/Highlights in Trainee Research will be held after the Blood Vessel Club. This is a perfect venue for trainees to present their posters to NAVBO attendees and to gain additional experience and network in a congenial setting. We are very pleased to announce four major symposia: “Neurovascular connections/interactions”, co-sponsored with the American Association of Neuropathologists. For those with a special interest in this topic, the AAA will be holding a related session “Crosstalk and co-dependence between neural and vascular systems” so EB2008 will be a great venue for this exciting area of vascular biology. The other symposia are: “Vascular Cell Dysfunction in Disease”, “The Immune System in Vascular Disease”, and “Molecular engines that regulate epithelial and endothelial junctions” co-sponsored with ASIP. For three of the symposia, short talks will be selected from submitted abstracts to add further depth to the session. We hope all of you will submit abstracts and attend the meeting. The annual meeting has been very well-attended in recent years and has offered many opportunities for cross-discipline interactions. |
