Immuno-Cardiology 2023

This inaugural symposium focuses on immune mechanisms of inflammation and the initiation of fibrosis in cardiac disease. It will leverage expertise from 26 speakers across the United States, Canada, and Europe who will come together to share their knowledge on topics spanning from Immunity, Imaging, Inflammation Resolution, Cardiac Fibrosis, promising novel therapeutic approaches and Emerging Technologies in the field of Immuno-Cardiology.

Registration is Open

About

Heart disease remains to be the leading cause of death in the western world. While it is clear that inflammation critically contributes to heart disease, precise knowledge about the molecular basis by which inflammation orchestrates cardiac fibrosis remains scarce. This new symposium to be held in September, Immuno-Cardiology 2023, will focus on the role of innate and adaptive immunity during cardiac inflammation and its resolution, the initiation of fibrosis and novel insights in immunometabolism and interorgan communication. Further, we will discuss how emerging technologies can help to decipher mechanisms of adverse cardiac remodeling, how to image immune cells within the heart and learn about novel therapeutic approaches on the horizon. A poster session will enable early career scientists to present ongoing and unpublished work. Keynote lectures will be given by Dr. Douglas Mann, Washington University in St. Louis and Dr. Kathryn Moore, New York University. Participants will include basic/translational scientists from all career stages, members from biotechnology start-ups, and the pharmaceutical industry. Joint recreational activities will facilitate networking and opportunities for novel collaborations.
