The Asian Society for Vascular Biology (ASVB) is a non-profit academic organization founded in 2004 in Hong Kong on the initiative of the late Prof. Paul M. Vanhoutte, one of the foremost vascular biologists, pharmacologists and physiologists world-wide. The aim of the ASVB is to promote and advance the field of vascular biology and medicine in Asia. In conjunction with the 16th Left Main & Coronary Bifurcation Summit, the 9th Scientific Meeting of the ASVB will be held on 29 November to 1 December 2024 in Nanjing International Conference Center, Nanjing, China. This meeting will bring together basic scientists with clinicians in cardiovascular medicine, and will provide great opportunities for exchanging novel scientific findings, initiating research collaborations and promoting friendship among scientists, physicians, and trainees from Asian countries and regions. We are convinced that your participation will help us achieve this goal!
