Dear members,
The annual ESC congress was recently held in Paris and was an enormous success, with many session of direct interest to members of the working group of Cellular Biology of the Heart. A few of these sessions are highlighted below, and these can still be viewed by visiting the ESC365 website. At such a large meeting as this it is not always easy to get to all the poster presentations of interest, so ESC 365 is also a handy way to catch up on the top posters. Our WG members were active contributors to the congress, for example helping to organize the 3rd edition of the ESC Professional Horizons, a session of speed mentoring during the ESC Congress 2019. Overall, we congratulate Prof Casadei and the rest of the ESC team for another wonderful meeting and hope to see you next year in the Netherlands!
For basic and translational science, the next big meeting is the Frontiers in CardioVascular Biomedicine (FCVB) 2020 which will be in the beautiful city of Budapest, Hungary, from Thursday 23 - Sunday 26 April 2020. Our WG have contributed towards the programming of the sessions at this conference, and many of the topics included should be of interest to our members, including: molecular networks, cardiotoxicity, cardioprotection, inflammation, extracellular vesicles and many more. Please remember to submit your abstracts before 25 October 2019.
