Cardiac & Vascular Pathobiology

Blood vessels are no longer thought to be a mere supply system for nutrient distribution in the body and are now recognized as a complex and dynamic system that plays a critical role in regulating organ function and maintaining tissue homeostasis. Recent research has confirmed that different vascular beds are as unique as the tissues they supply. As such, investigating the mechanisms governing vascular function and dysfunction will be key to a deeper understanding of disease progression and the development of therapeutic tools.

The Cardiac and Vascular Scientific Interest Group (SIG) is dedicated to uniting researchers, clinicians, and trainees who are passionate about vascular biology, vascular inflammation, and the pathophysiology of vascular-related diseases. We aim to explore the complex mechanisms that govern vascular health, angiogenesis, and repair, as well as the impact of vascular dysfunction on diseases that affect the heart, lungs, and blood. This SIG offers a platform for in-depth scientific discussions on ongoing research, published findings, methods, and emerging technologies. It serves as a resource for fostering collaborations and enhancing the exchange of ideas across the vascular research community.

The objectives of the Cardiac and Vascular Pathobiology SIG are:

• To promote cutting-edge research in vascular biology and vascular pathobiology, focusing on understanding the regulatory mechanisms of vascular function, inflammation, and repair at all levels, from basic to translational and clinical.
• To foster collaborations and interactions among researchers by facilitating discussions, hosting seminars and networking sessions, and help organizing events such as the SIG Poster Session during the annual meeting.
• To establish and maintain an efficient flow of information through our webpage, listserv, and social media platforms, ensuring that members and the broader research community stay informed about the latest advancements in the field.
• To encourage the participation of trainees and newcomers to the field, ensuring the next generation of researchers is well-equipped to contribute to the advancement of vascular pathobiology.
