BSCR AUTUMN MEETING, 2012 |
| Title: "Novel Insights into the Pathogenesis of Cardiac Remodeling" |
| Date: Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th September, 2012 |
| Venue: Queen's University, Belfast |
| Organisers: David Grieve, Barbara McDermott, Emma Robinson and Melanie Madhani. |
| Overview: The development and progression of pathological cardiac remodeling is regulated by specific actions on, and interactions between, distinct components of the overall phenotype. This symposium comprises state-of-the-art presentations focused on emerging mechanisms underlying remodeling of three key components: the extracellular matrix, cardiomyocyte and vasculature. This meeting presents an exciting opportunity for world-leading researchers in the field to discuss current concepts to advance the development of novel therapeutics for the improved treatment of heart failure. |
| Programme: Confirmed speakers include Johann Bauersachs (Hannover, Germany), Ralf Brandes (Frankfurt, Germany), Susan Currie (Glasgow, UK), Sian Harding (London, UK), Stephane Heymans (Maastricht, The Netherlands), Paul Lijnen (Leuven, Belgium), Paolo Madeddu (Bristol, UK), Tim O’Brien (Galway, Ireland), Karen Porter (Leeds, UK), Jurgen Schneider (Oxford, UK), Ajay Shah (London, UK), Nicola Smart (Oxford, UK), Thomas Thum (Hannover, Germany). |
| Marshall Prizes: The Bernard and Joan Marshall Young Investigator Prize will be competed for, and the Bernard and Joan Marshall Research Excellence Prize lecture will be given, at this meeting. Both prizes will be presented during the meeting. The annual Bernard and Joan Marshall Distinguished Investigator Lecture will also be given during the meeting. |
| Meeting abstracts: Abstract submission will be available online soon. Four abstracts will be chosen for oral presentation and a prize awarded for the best poster. The deadline for online submission is 27th July. |
| Registration: Registration will be available online soon: free for BSCR members, £100 for non-members. The deadline will be 24th August. |
| Student bursaries: BSCR student members will be eligible to apply for a Travel Bursary to attend the meeting. |
