The preliminary program outline is below.
Members of the AAS are invited to submit abstracts, after which a selection process will allocate them for oral presentation – either a full 10 minutes or a 3-minute oral presentation. There are no plans for printed posters.
In addition to our invited speakers, our program will feature abstracts from our members across several different themes including:
- Novel approaches for atherosclerosis
- Mechanisms of disease
- Cell signalling and interactions
- Cardiometabolic complications of atherosclerosis
- Clinical therapeutics and biomarkers for atherosclerosis
Special Panel Discussion: Atherosclerosis Research in Australia – Past, Present & Future. Not to be missed, this will be a lively, informative and robust discussion with
Past AAS Presidents, canvassing the lessons learnt and future opportunities.
SCOLAR: The Stroke, Cardiovascular, Obesity, Lipids, and Atherosclerosis Research Training Program will be presented on Sunday afternoon.
The mission of the AAS’s SCOLAR program is to provide an advanced, interdisciplinary research training program for basic science and clinical trainees to help them become leaders in the research of lipid metabolism and its relation to cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity and the metabolic syndrome. The program currently has two components: 1) a series of lectures given by senior members of the Australian Atherosclerosis Society with the aim of providing advanced lipid and atherosclerosis training to postgraduate students, and 2) an inter-laboratory exchange scheme, whereby postgraduate students are encouraged and supported to visit research laboratories in Australia and overseas with the aim of exchanging research ideas and methodologies. SCOLAR thus promotes exchange of information and ideas between students and faculty and promotes collegiality between trainees in the field of lipids and atherosclerosis. The 2024 SCOLAR Joint ASM program will be developed by Early Career Researchers.
SCOLAR Coordinators for 2024 are Dr. Arpeeta Sharma & Dr. Emma Solly
