Project Summary/Abstract
The vascular biology field is undergoing a transformation as new technological developments and discoveries
are revealing the extent and mechanisms of vascular diversity. Vascular biologists have a growing appreciation
for how vessel structure and function can vary in different organs, developmental stages, sexes, and disease
contexts and how this variation can impact therapeutic strategies for tackling a wide range of pathologies. Two
important factors that contribute to vascular diversity are (1) the genetic patterning of developing vessels, and
(2) the surrounding environment in which vessels grow and adapt. Vascular Biology 2024 (VB2024) will
provide a forum for in-depth exploration of these factors by covering the themes of (1) development and
genetics, (2) matrix biology and bioengineering, (3) signaling and (4) inflammation. The combination of these
four themes fosters exciting opportunities for vascular biologists with diverse expertise to collaborate and make
discoveries. In addition, VB2024 will host the Microcirculatory Society (MCS) as its guest. The MCS brings
classical expertise in microcirculatory physiology and function, and benefits the molecular, genetic, and
bioengineering approaches of NAVBO meeting participants, and vice versa. Overall, VB2024 aims to bring
together scientists focused on developmental, genetic, matrix, bioengineering, signaling, inflammation and
microcirculatory aspects of the vasculature so that their cross-fertilization can progress the field's
understanding of vascular development, diversity, and therapeutic potential.
VB2024 will be an international meeting that draws researchers from academia, industry, and government and
incorporates both trainees and established scientists. The meeting will be held at the Asilomar Conference
Grounds, from October 20-24, 2024. The roster of organizers and invited speakers provides a diverse and
inclusive face to the meeting, with women, junior faculty, and individuals from underrepresented groups
featured. In addition, a large number of speakers will be selected from abstract submissions to give trainees
and junior faculty additional opportunities to present their research and to promote diverse voices. The meeting
will include 14 concurrent sessions across the five main topics and two cross-over themes on malf...
