Fusion Conference – 3rd Immuno-Metabolic Mechanisms of Atherosclerosis Conference
Posted by Gemma Wright, on 27 August 2021
This meeting aims to provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of current research on atherosclerosis with a focus on the latest and most exciting developments in the immuno-metabolic mechanisms that govern disease initiation and progression. There is little doubt that the next most exciting therapy to combat cardiovascular disease will be based on targeting biological pathways that will have been discussed during this conference.
Seven sessions are planned and will highlight the following major research areas:
- Cellular vessel wall and plaque diversity
- Lipids and lipoproteins in inflammation
- Cellular lipid metabolism and immunity
- Innate immunity, neutrophil and macrophage biology
- Adaptive immune mechanisms
- Immunometabolism and leukocytes
- Neuroimmune signaling
- Systems analyses
- Human translational studies and clinical trials
