Life Sciences Switzerland Cardiovascular Biology (LS2 CVB) Section
Every year LS2 CVB brings together the Swiss cardiac and vascular research communities for a 2-day meeting in Bern (13-14 January 2026). The atmosphere is vibrant and collegial, with the aim of fostering networking and collaboration among the excellent CV groups throughout Switzerland. The program consists of 4 sessions (2 cardiac and 2 vascular), with international invited speakers and many short talks selected from submitted abstracts. The energetic and collaborative atmosphere makes it a perfect opportunity for younger researchers to present their (first) data to an interested audience and maybe gain one of the Best Oral Presentation or Best Poster prizes. A fun night with dinner on the evening of January 13th is a much-loved highlight.
You can find more information about invited speakers here (our own Tanya Petrova will present):

The deadline for abstract submission is this Sunday, November 9th (it is possible that there might be a prolongation, but do not wait!). You can register and submit an abstract here:

For students who are LS2 members registration is FREE and the meeting is accredited as continuing education for animal experimentation.
