The story behind this workshop
The field of fibrinolysis has gained significant momentum in recent years. It plays a crucial role in removing blood clots in thromboembolic conditions and influencing bleeding in hyperfibrinolytic conditions. Moreover, its role in various other biological areas, including immunity, inflammation, brain function, malignancy, and metabolism, is becoming increasingly recognized.
The following topics will be covered during the meeting
1. Cell and platelet surface plasminogen activation
2. New assays for fibrinolysis
3. Immunity, inflammation and wound healing
4. New indications for anti-fibrinolytic agents: basic and clinical aspects
5. Trauma, critical care, transplant
6. Ischaemic stroke: Animal models, new thrombolytic agents, adjunctive treatments
7. Malignancy
This workshop is open to everyone, with a specific focus on early and mid-career researchers in the region.
Note: travel bursaries will be made available to students and early career postdocs (details to be announced later pending sponsorship)
The program will feature a diverse range of keynote speakers and moderators who will discuss the latest advancements in the field.
We will also have oral and poster sessions for presenting your research findings.
