Advances in Rare & Inherited Cardiovascular Disease Symposium
Thursday 1 June 2017
Registration for the Advances in Rare & Inherited Cardiovascular Disease Symposium is now closed. If you did not manage to register for a ticket in time, it is still worth coming to the venue on the day, as you may be able to gain entrance to the event if there are people who do not show up.
This one-day conference, jointly hosted by the UCL Personalised Medicine Domain, Queen Mary University of London, and Barts Health NHS Trust, will showcase research in rare and inherited cardiovascular disease.
Talks are planned on a diverse range of themes, including:
- using ‘Big Data’ to study genetic cardiovascular disease
- in silico approaches to the study of genetic disease
- inflammation & infiltration
- and rare forms of cardiomyopathy
The Symposium promises to be a fascinating day with a mixture of insightful talks and time to network with your peers and colleagues.
Who should attend?
This meeting is open to all researchers (PhD students, postdocs, research associates and Principal Investigators) and clinicians working on any aspect of cardiovascular science within UCLPartners. MSc / iBSc Cardiovascular Science students are also welsome to register.
To confirm authenticity of your registration, please use your UCL/NHS/academic email address when registering (i.e. do not use gmail, hotmail etc).

This event is being organised in partnership with:
QMUL/UCL Joint Cardiovascular Institute
QMUL and UCL have established a joint Cardiovascular Institute to rise to the global challenge of cardiovascular disease. The endeavour will provide support for the UCLPartners cardiovascular Academic Medical Centre, the hub of which will be the new Barts Heart Centre. By combining joint strengths in discovery science, experimental medicine, therapeutic innovation and population health sciences, and our involvement with The Francis Crick Institute, National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research, the Farr Institute and Genomics England, the Institute will drive forward diagnostic and therapeutic innovation and prevention strategies to address the extensive burden of cardiovascular disease in North Central and East London.
