Vascular Biology Summer School 2022

Full program

June 13-15, 2022; Online

The registration for the ESM/EVBO online Vascular Biology Summer School - June 13-15, 2022 - is now open.

Aim: to provide postgraduate students/junior postdoctoral scientists an opportunity to gain insight into the key questions and cutting-edge methodologies in vascular biology, to discuss with peers and experts in the field, and to train in the presentation and discussion of data. Applications from PhD/MD students and junior postdocs will be considered.

Short presentations by experts in the field will be followed by “how to?” Q&A sessions. Participants will join three panel discussions and have the opportunity to discuss and present your research. There will be awards for best presentations. For more information, the preliminary program is detailed in the attachment and on-line at www.esmicro.eu and evbo.org/summer-school-2.

The summer school is free for ESM and EVBO members; if you are not a member then please sign up for membership to ESM (Student Members €10 for two years) or EVBO (Student Members €30/annum or €80 for 3 years).

To register, please send the following as one pdf file to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by April 30th:
  • Name and affiliation (add your name also in the file name!)
  • Abstract (250 words, voluntary)
  • Motivation letter (max 150 words)
  • One page CV
  • An indication of whether you are a member of ESM or EVBO.

Please share this email and associated documents with colleagues, who have postdocs and students who may be interested in attending!

Junior post-doctoral position in Nantes, France

Two-year fixed-term contract
Signaling in Oncogenesis, Angiogenesis and Permeability,
Cancer & Immunology Research Center, INSERM, CNRS, Nantes University

The “Signaling in Oncogenesis, Angiogenesis and Permeability” (SOAP) team is interested in deciphering how tumor cells pirate basic signaling pathways to sustain their survival and unlimited proliferation, as well as the way in which they interact within their environment. Fundamental signaling mechanisms are explored with a specific emphasis on deleterious remodeling of the vascular network associated to tumor.

3^rd Joint German Society for Microcirculation and Vascular Biology, and the Netherlands Vascular Biology Organisation (DEBS/MiVaB) meeting

3-5 November 2021, Göttingen, Germany

The ESM will be sponsoring two travel awards (€400/award) to present original research, at the meeting.

We are delighted to announce the third joint Vascular Biology meeting between the German Society for Microcirculation and Vascular Biology (GfMVB), and the Dutch Vascular Biology Societies (DESB, MiVaB), 3 - 5 November 2021, in Goettingen is now LIVE and open to receive your abstracts and conference registration.

Our meeting will bring together investigators from all fields of vascular biology for the exchange of new concepts and discussions of outstanding questions in the field. Angiocrine signaling, Angiogenesis, Arteriogenesis, Lymphatics, Vascular Mechanobiology, the Microcirculation in Cardiac Regeneration, Systems approaches & single cell sequencing, and the Microcirculation in Covid-19 patients are just a few of the topics addressed at our meeting. In particular we are very excited to welcome Nobel laureate Prof. Stefan Hell, who will spearhead a special symposium dedicated to novel imaging modalities in the cardiovascular system.

We expect that our event will take place in “LIVE” modus! So if you want to meet your colleagues in person, have vivid scientific discussions while enjoying a great atmosphere, this is what you have to do:
Visit our website now at https://gfmvb.com/ and select “Registration for the Goettingen 2021 conference”.

Good news for PhD students and Postdocs: we got great financial support from ESM, EVBO, DEBS and GFMVB and can now offer >15 travel and poster awards - just submit your abstract and select the appropriate travel award option in the “travel grant menu” during the registration procedure. In addition we will have the Aletta Jacobs awards (in total 3) for talented female scientists in the field of microvascular biology at the start of their career (PhD, first year Postdoc). More information on the Aletta Jacobs award and selection criteria can be found on our website: https://gfmvb.com/

One Nobel laureate, >35 invited speakers, special symposia, and the latest news from vascular biology research ! The registration fee for this great 3 day Vascular Biology meeting, is 260 Euro.
