📝 Abstract Submission Deadline: March 22, 2026

📍 Venue: Jeantet Auditorium, Chemin Rieu 17, 1208 Geneva, Switzerland

A preliminary scientific program is now available on the Shear Stress Symposium website and highlights exciting sessions spanning vascular biology, biomechanics, mechanobiology, and translational science.

We warmly encourage participation from investigators across disciplines and career stages, and we look forward to vibrant scientific exchange within our growing mechanobiology community.

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.
