Immunometabolic, Genetic and Molecular Mechanisms of Atherosclerosis

The Atherosclerosis GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

This meeting will focus on recent advances and emerging techniques in atherosclerosis research, including immunometabolism, lipid metabolism, systems biological approaches, transcriptomics and genetic factors, and how these findings in atherosclerosis research may be leveraged for therapeutic application. Claudia Kemper will give a scientific keynote lecture.

Application Instructions

The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.

The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by March 12, 2023. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above.
