Bridging talks from Experimental Medicine, Clinical Research to Hemodynamics simulations, Mechano biology and Biophysics - we aimed to have a broad discussion revolving around the topic of how the vasculature and immune response are intertwined.

Additionally, we had Paul Kubes as our Spinoza Speaker inspiring us with three talks in 3 subsequent days about in vivo imageing to see the immune system in real time!

It was a fantastic exchang and we can’t wait for the second round of such meetings!

My research will take place within the Vascular Immunology Synergy Group, in which I help coordinate the exchange of 8 very scientifically diverse research groups.

I am beyond happy to have had such a blast during the defense and the day before with our workshop on Physics of Adaptation including speakers Ray Goldstein, Sujit Datta, Mirna Kramar, Ben Larson, Tom Shimizu and me - and a discussion moderated by Greg Stephens.
