Mechanisms of Cardiac Growth, Death and Regeneration joint with Molecular Cardiology: Disease Mechanisms and Experimental Therapeutics Organizer(s): Richard N. Kitsis, Ivor J. Benjamin and Charles E. Murry Date: February 22 - 27, 2011
Location: Keystone Resort, Keystone, CO, USACardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in the world. Although advances have been made in our understanding of cardiac biology and pathobiology, significant conceptual and practical gaps remain. This meeting – in combination with a concurrent meeting on Molecular Cardiology: Disease Mechanisms and Experimental Therapeutics – will address these gaps by focusing on fundamental mechanisms that regulate cardiac structure, function, and repair and how they relate to human disease. These paired cardiovascular-centric meetings bring diverse areas under an umbrella focused on the heart in health and disease. While primarily basic science-based, each meeting uniquely incorporates bench-to-bedside novel therapeutics sessions with the goal of broadening the attraction of this meeting to investigators from academia, pharma, biotechnology, and in the clinical enterprise. Both meetings deal with hypertrophy and heart failure, and disease. The focus of the Mechanisms of Cardiac Growth, Death and Regeneration meeting includes stem cells and stem cell/tissue engineering, and therefore this meeting occupies a unique position with respect to cardiac stem cell biology meetings.
