Conference Description
The Angiogenesis GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The 2025 Angiogenesis GRC and GRS address the underlying hypothesis that angiogenesis relies on intricate crosstalk with various cell types and tissues, which influence blood vessel function. Conversely, endothelial cells secrete organotypic angiocrine factors that control and maintain tissue homeostasis, hence understanding these interactions is important for tissue regeneration and for treating diseases involving aberrant vascularization. The meeting will stimulate the generation of new knowledge by providing brainstorming opportunities for scientists of different fields (vascular, cardiac, immune, stem cell, and neurobiology) who do not often attend the same conferences and by fostering the exchange of new unpublished data and ideas, to jump-start collaborations that will move the field forward and shift paradigms.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by March 29, 2025. Please check back for updates.
