The symposium is a day-long event featuring two keynote addresses by leading faculty in the cardiovascular field, along with short talks presented by graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and medical residents from the IVB training program, MHI-affiliated laboratories, and guests from neighboring institutions and research organizations. All researchers who wish to present are accommodated, and student and post-doctoral speakers are selected from submitted abstracts. Individuals not chosen for oral presentations will be able to discuss their research in one of two poster sessions. Lunch is provided for those registered.
