Welcome Message

It is with great pleasure that we announce the annual meeting of the German Society for Microcirculation and Vascular Biology (GfMVB).

We cordially invite everyone interested in vascular biology to participate in and contribute to vibrant and stimulating Symposia. In remembrance of the last year’s splendid meeting in Amsterdam, we especially encourage our Dutch colleagues (http://debsociety.nl/, http://www.mivab.nl/) to visit Heidelberg and attend our conference which is dedicated to the following topics:

TOPICS

  • Organ-specific vascular features
  • Mural-endothelial crosstalk
  • Endothelial cell-cardiomyocyte communication
  • Biomechanical control of vascular differentiation & function

  • Vascular homeostasis, aging & repair
  • Vascular metabolism
  • Immuno-vascular communication skills
