The 20^th International Workshop includes national and international speakers working in key areas relevant to Cardiovascular Biology and Medicine, in both the experimental setting and in areas of translational biology and clinical trials.

The themes of this year’s meeting focus on hot topics in cardiovascular biology and translational medicine and centres on advanced and novel therapeutics in cardiovascular disease including therapies for hypertension, innovative gene therapy approaches for cardiovascular repair and regeneration and novel metabolic pathways. Novel imaging technologies and mapping vascular dementia and blood vessels in health and disease diagnosis and treatment. Mechanisms of vascular pathology in pulmonary arterial hypertension and vascular calcification will be discussed along with the along with the current advances in understanding and treating CTEPH. The final session is devoted to cardiometabolic disease focussing on advancing applications for modulation the GLP-1 pathway in cardiovascular disease, the role of inflammation and the emerging and new modalities to prevent cardiometabolic diseases.
