TOWARDS BIOFUNCTIONAL CARDIOVASCULAR IMPLANTS

国际应用心血管生物学学会第七届会议将于2000年3月9日至11日在亚利桑那州图森市举行。这次会议的目标是加强临床医生和研究人员(学术和行业基础)之间的交流，将医生和外科医生研究人员、基础科学家、工程师和工业社区的研究人员聚集在一个论坛上，促进与心血管疾病和治疗广泛领域的当前研究相关的互动和讨论。本次会议向所有对心血管生物学感兴趣的临床医生、科学家、研究人员和研究人员开放。会议还向生物技术、制药和心血管设备行业的代表开放。将更新现有知识，讨论有争议的问题，并确定未来研究和发展的战略。会议旨在通过口头和海报演示最大限度地促进调查人员之间的互动。本次会议的项目主题包括组织工程和药物输送的工程基质；治疗性血管生成；心脏瓣膜生物学；损伤的心血管反应以及支架和血管内治疗。这次会议的一个独特和成功的特点一直是，并将在我们的下一次会议上继续是基础科学家、临床医生和行业代表之间的科学和技术集成。所有这些学科的整合对于开发应用心血管生物学领域的新策略是非常有效的。

The 7th biennial meeting of the International Society for Applied Cardiovascular Biology will convene March 9-11,2000 in Tucson, Arizona. The goal of this meeting is to enhance communications between clinicians and researchers (both academic- and industry-based) by bringing together physicians and surgeon investigators, basic scientists, engineers, and investigators in the industrial community in a forum which promoters interactions and discussion relevant to current research in the broad fields of cardiovascular diseases and treatments. This meeting is open to all clinicians, scientists, investigators and researchers with an interest in cardiovascular biology. The meeting is also open to representatives of the biotech, pharmaceutical and cardiovascular device industries. Current knowledge will be updated, controversial issues will be discussed and strategies for future research and development will be identified. The meeting is designed to maximize interactions between investigators through oral and poster presentation. The program topics for this meeting include Engineered matrices for tissue engineering and drug delivery; Therapeutic angiogenesis; Biology of cardiac valves; Cardiovascular responses to injury and Stent and endovascular therapies. A unique and successful feature of this meeting has been and will continue at our next gathering to be the integration of science and technology between basic scientists, clinicians and industrial representatives. The integration of all these disciplines is highly effective toward development of new strategies in the field of applied cardiovascular biology.
