Northern Vascular Biology Forum 2017
Liverpool John Moores University is proud to host the Northern Vascular Biology Forum 2017.
Liverpool John Moores University’s Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences is hosting the Northern Vascular Biology Forum (NVBF) on 6 December 2017 in the Lower James Parsons Lecture Theatre.
Located in the Byrom Street City Campus, the theatre will host the fifth annual NVBF meeting, held in rotation across 13 research institutions in the North of England. Participating institutions include: LJMU, Liverpool Hope University, Manchester Metropolitan University, Newcastle University, Sheffield Hallam University, University of Bradford, University of Hull, University of Leeds, University of Liverpool, University of Manchester, University of Sheffield and University of Wolverhampton.
The aim of the NVBF is to develop collaborations between vascular biologists in the region and to provide a platform for the presentation of original research findings, scientific discussion and networking, bringing together research students, post-doctoral researchers and established investigators.
One of our key aims for this free event is to foster the career development of young researchers and the programme is designed to include a balanced mix of talks by early career researchers and established investigators. Poster presentations are displayed during the day for students to showcase their work. There is a first (£75) and second prize (£50) available for the posters.
Attendance is free of charge and the deadline for registration is Wednesday 29 November 2017.
The closing date for abstract submissions is Wednesday 22 November 2017.
The local organising committee includes: Ellen Dawson, Claire Stewart and Matt Cocks.
