The official Twitter account of the Australian Vascular Biology Society (AVBS) for scientists studying the blood vessel, its form, function and development.
And wrapping up the session, Prof Grant Drummond, showing their work on inflammasomes and IL-18 in the development of hypertension @gr_drummond #AVBS2024

Wrapping up the day, we have A/Prof Shane Thomas, who will be showing us new animal models for cardiovascular disease #AVBS2024

Congratulations to all those vascular biology scientists @AVBS_org who received funding from the @heartfoundation 🥂🥂👏👏
Rebuilding the ♥️ after a #heartattack, using #mRNA therapy to prevent #bloodclots & using ultrasound to provide a window into #AF in people with #diabetes. These are some of the projects our scientists will undertake thanks to @heartfoundation funding👏 baker.edu.au/news/media-rel…
And finally, the winner of the ECR Award 2024 is: Dr Mitch Moon! Congratulations Mitch! @MitchMoon1 @BakerResearchAu #AVBS2024

Next up, we celebrate the ECRs in our society, and the Runner Up for the 2024 ECR Award is: Dr Josh Bourne @JoshuaHBourne @MonashCID #AVBS2024

Our winner for the Young Investigator Award 2024, is Zoe Zhang! Congratulations, Zoe! @BakerResearchAu #AVBS2024

Next, we celebrate the excellent research from our young investigators. The runner up for the Young Investigator Award is: Alexander Lin @HRIAust #AVBS2024

As we're slowly recovering from the post-conference blues, let's look back and celebrate. Here is our flash-talk winner: Simon Xu @BakerResearchAu

And that’s a wrap! A huge thank you to @dancnwthmycellf and @AJMurph5 for organising an amazing meeting. We’ve seen some awesome science and made some great memories. See you all next year! #AVBS2024 #AVBS2025




And last, but certainly not last, we have Prof Steve Stacker from the @PeterMacCC, speaking of their work defining the early vascular phase of the pre-metastatic niche

Our penultimate talk is from Dr Kristen Bubb @kristenbubb from the @MonashVHI, talking about Natriuretic peptide receptor C in vascular disease #AVBS2024

And now all the way from the UK, we have Dr Sally Dreger, talking about their work on the gut microbiome and how it impacts vascular development @TheQuadram #AVBS2024

Next up, Amber Driessen, who is investigating focal adhesion dynamics under haemodynamic forces #AVBS2024

Starting out final session, is the intravital wizard, Prof Edwin Hawkins, speaking about endothelial derived-EVs @WEHI_research #AVBS2024

Congratulations to one of HRI's very talented PhD students, Alexander Lin, from @AshishMisraLab. Alex has been awarded as the 'AVBS Student Young Investigator Runner-Up’ at the @AVBS_org conference currently happening in Lorne. Well done Alex! 👏 #AVBS2024
Sticking with the platelet theme, we now have Dr Vera Ripoll, speaking about PF4-mediated immune thrombosis #AVBS2024

Next up is Samantha Loong, showing their work on platelet nano particles to target NET formation @BakerResearchAu #AVBS2024

Unfortunately we’re in the final day of #AVBS2024. But we’re hearing some awesome work from Dr Shu Wen Wen, talking about intravital imaging of thrombi in the lungs after stroke @MonashCID

Congratulations to Dr Anne Lagendijk @Lagendijk_lab who is the recipient of the 2024 AVBS Career Development Award #AVBS2024
