This meeting aims to inspire young\ninvestigators from a variety of disciplines to enter the field of vascular\nbiology by providing trainees with a robust introductory learning experience,\nfacilitate the rapid integration of new research trainees into vascular biology\nresearch programs by enhancing their exposure and understanding of the latest\nexperimental approaches employed in the field and finally to orient new\ninvestigators to the breadth and depth of the frontiers of knowledge of\nvascular biology through state-of-the-art presentations and scientific\ninterchange with leading investigators.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EVasculata\u003Csup\u003E\u00ae\u003C\/sup\u003E is a summer course\/workshop that promotes\nthe study of vascular biology.\u0026nbsp; It is designed to present an overview of\nthe field and future areas of active research.\u0026nbsp; Individuals with little or\nno background in vascular biology are encouraged to attend, and current trainees\nin the field and all interested individuals are invited to participate.\u0026nbsp;\nThis includes students (undergraduates, graduate students, medical students),\ntrainees (postdocs, research fellows, residents) and others (junior and senior\nfaculty).\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThis meeting builds upon the legacy of research training provided by\nprevious Vasculata conferences by leveraging the superb critical mass of\nvascular biology investigators at the three partner institutions in Atlanta.\nThe Vasculata 2011 conference will be a distinctive addition that will\nincorporate several new programmatic elements to enrich the training experience\nand develop a special thematic emphasis on preparing a new generation of\nvascular biologists to extend the frontiers of discovery science as well as engage\nin translational science that bridges from \u2018bench-to-bedside.\u201d The proposed\nmeeting builds upon the complementary strengths of the tri-institutional\npartnership such that the program reflects the inter-disciplinary nature of\nvascular biology. The conference will capture the breadth of the field in its\ninclusion of investigators from a wide variety of disciplines such as:\nbioengineering, systems biology, developmental biology, clinical science,\nregenerative medicine and genetic epidemiology.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EMoreover, Vasculata 2011 will be a novel addition to the series by\nincorporating new programmatic elements that emphasize the mentorship of\ntrainees as well as major initiatives to expand the gender and racial\/ethnic\ndiversity of biomedical scientists in the field. Overall, the Vasculata 2011\nconference promises to be an exciting and uniquely rich research training\nexperience.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOrganizing Committee:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EGary\nGibbons, MD, Morehouse School of Medicine\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EKathy\nGriendling, PhD, Emory University\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EHanjoong\nJo PhD, Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EArshed\nQuyyumi MD, Emory University\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EVasculata 2011, with the Morehouse School of Medicine, Emory University and Georgia Tech, to be held on Georgia Tech\u0027s campus\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Annual summer course\/workshop in Vascular Biology"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2011-07-05 13:35:30","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:09:40","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2011-07-05T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2011-07-05T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"68683":{"id":"68683","type":"image","title":"NAVBO","body":null,"created":"1449177185","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:13:05","changed":"1475894597","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:43:17","alt":"NAVBO","file":{"fid":"192636","name":"navbo.gif","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/navbo_0.gif","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/navbo_0.gif","mime":"image\/gif","size":2117,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/navbo_0.gif?itok=L6TuU2V5"}}},"media_ids":["68683"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.navbo.org\/event\/vasculata","title":"Vasculata website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
