Genetics and Genomics of
Vascular Disease Workshop
Drs. Marchuk and Vikkula did an outstanding job of bringing together experts in the fields of genetic and genomics and of course vascular biology. The discussions following every talk were quite lively and involved.
If you attended the meeting (or even if you didn't), you may want to view the Photo Gallery - special attention is given to our trainee awardees -
If you were unable to attend the meeting but are interested in this topic, please join NAVBO's group on Genetics and Genomics. Log into the web site, select groups from the main menu, choose Workshops, then choose Genetics and Genomics of Vascular Disease and click on Join Group in the header.
