Program Overview
Thank you for your interest in the Seventh NHLBI Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine Symposium taking place at the NIH main campus in Bethesda, Maryland on September 27−28, 2017. Register Online!
The event will bring together experts in stem cell biology, cardiovascular development, translational cardiovascular stem cell biology, endogenous heart regeneration and new technologies and models.
The emphasis will again be on recent discoveries and trends. We will examine the challenges and critical questions that require answers as the field moves forward to clinical applications.
The Symposium’s goals are to help the science and field move forward, to find consensus regarding the translation of stem cell biology and research into a clinical setting, and to inspire participants in their own work.
