Invitation
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organising Committee, I take great pleasure in inviting you to attend the XVI International Symposium on Atherosclerosis (ISA2012) which will be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour, 25 – 29 March 2012.
In 2012, the ISA Committee plans to have an exciting scientific program including a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of the current understanding of the origins, progression and prevention of atherosclerosis.
The program consists of Plenary Sessions, Sponsored Clinical Symposia, Masters Lectures, Workshops, Late Breaking/Hot Topic Sessions and Poster Sessions focusing on updates of recent advances in key and emerging areas, and recent advances in key and emerging areas in clinical and basic science.
Highlights will include genetics of cardiovascular disease, identification of cardiovascular risk factors, therapeutic advances, epidemiology, imaging, biomarker identification, dyslipidaemias, abdominal obesity, diabetes, lipoprotein metabolism and vascular biology.
An impressive social program has been developed that will offer networking opportunities for you and your colleagues in stunning venues showcasing the best Sydney has to offer.
The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre Darling Harbour is a superb venue, ideally designed for combining the scientific sessions, trade exhibition and social events of our Symposium. Located in the heart of Australia's largest and most exciting city, Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre provides delegates with easy access to the city's many tourist attractions, making it the perfect location for ISA2012.
We look forward to welcoming you to Sydney in March 2012!
