title to be announced

Like in previous years, the 5^th Swiss Vascular Research Symposium of the SSMVR will be an integral part of this meeting and will be held on Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022. To accommodate many oral presentations of PhD students and young Postdocs, we are again dedicating two Free Communication sessions to selected abstracts. In total 8 slots for oral presentations are available. In addition, all poster presenters will be asked to briefly pitch their work during the Poster Flash presentations held right before to the Poster Session. All presenters of Free Communications and Posters will have the chance to win an award for the best presentation. In sum, the Symposium will offer plenty of opportunities to present your research and / or to interact with other scientists working in the Vascular Biology field!

To participate, please register and submit your abstract before July 24, 2022 under  https://www.unionstagung.ch
Extended deadline for online abstract submission. The new deadline is July 31^st 2022!
