DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 19th Gordon Research Conference on Atherosclerosis will be held at Il Ciocco Conference Center, Barga, Italy on June 17 - 22, 2007. Il Ciocco is in Tuscany, located about 30Km from Pisa. This international conference, which has been held every two years since 1971, will provide an overview of the most important recent developments in the pathobiology of atherosclerosis. The meeting will discuss all aspects of atherosclerotic lesion development and progression. Throughout, special emphasis will be placed on cutting edge technologies and resources that are relevant to the biology of atherosclerosis. Nine sessions are planned and will cover the following topics: 1.Inflammation and atherosclerosis; 2. The role of innate and acquired immune mechanisms in atherosclerosis; 3. Current vascular imaging modalities; 4. The genetics of human and experimental atherosclerosis; 5. The role of cell death, plaque disruption, thrombosis and calcification in advanced atherosclerosis; 6. The "omics of the macrophage including genomics, proteomics, and lipidomic analyses; 7. Vascular cell sources and phenotypes including the potential role of stem cells in vascular repair; 8. The role of diabetes and metabolic syndrome in the progression of atherosclerosis; 9. Lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. The conference will be a major vehicle for the integration of new knowledge in the field of atherosclerosis research. In order to stimulate an interdisciplinary dialogue, speakers will be invited who represent distinct but overlapping areas of research such as; stem cell biology, genomics, lipoproteins, diabetes and vascular biology. The conference will encourage the participation of women and minorities. Some of the invited speakers will be young scientists and participation of young scientists will also be encouraged through poster sessions. The conference will provide a comprehensive overview of current research on atherosclerosis with a focus on the latest and most exciting developments in the field.
