29th Krakow Conference on Endothelium

CONFERENCE PROGRAME

We are pleased to invite you to the next conference in the series ‘Krakow Conference on Endothelium’, which will take place on 25 – 27 September 2024 in Krakow.  The series of conferences on pharmacology of endothelium – recently named, Krakow Conference on Endothelium – was initiated by Prof. Ryszard Gryglewski and subsequently organized by Prof. Stefan Chłopicki. This year will be the 29th conference organized jointly by Prof. Stefan Chłopicki (JCET – Krakow, Poland), Prof. Gabor Csanyi (VBC – Augusta University, USA), Prof. Tilman Hackeng (CARIM – Maastricht, the Netherlands) and Prof. Vicente Andrés, CNIC (Madrid, Spain), covering topics related to endothelial and vascular biomedicine (flyer of the conference).

The conference programe includes 4 main lectures, over 40 presentations, almost half of which will be short presentations, some of which will be selected from submitted abstracts. As usual, the conference will include one-minute presentations of all posters. This scheme has worked well at our previous conferences and usually includes around 60-80 poster presentations. The best of these are awarded prizes.

So, join us with your colleagues for our 29th Krakow Conference on Endothelium 2024.

POLONEZ BIS-3 – effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on platelets subpopulations and endothelium

We would like to officially welcome a new member of the JCET team, Aneta Radziwon-Balicka, Ph.D., who will be carrying out a project entitled: “Effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on Syk pathway in eNOS-based platelet subpopulations and on endothelial barrier integrity“, under funding from the POLONEZ BIS-3 programme.

POLONEZ BIS is co-funded by the European Commission and the Polish National Science Centre under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND grant. In three calls, the programme recruited over 120 experienced researchers from all over the world. They will move to Poland for 24 months to conduct their basic research in public or private institutions of their choice.

RESULTS OF THE THIRD COMPETITION FOR WIB RESEARCH TEAM ARE ANNOUNCED

With undisguised enthusiasm, we would like to share with you the good news. After a long period of waiting for the results of the competition for the selection of Research Teams conducting scientific activities in the form of a Virtual Research Institute, we have received a positive recommendation for the funding of the project “Personalized endothelial diagnostics in anticancer treatment; towards modern vasculo-oncology” [Acronym: ADEVASCO].

Once again in recent years, Professor Stefan Chłopicki, director of JCET, will head an interdisciplinary research group carrying out a project in the area of endothelial biomedicine. The ADEVASCO project, led by the Jagiellonian University, involves five other institutions in Poland (Ludwik Hirszfeld Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Olsztyn, Medical University of Gdańsk, Maria Skłodowska-Curie National Institute of Oncology – National Research Institute, Warsaw University of Technology). The WIB research team of the ADEVASCO project will be formed with the participation of scientists from these 6 units with complementary research and clinical expertise necessary for this ambitious project. The signing of the project agreement, the official start of the project and the communication of more details about this project are planned for September 2024.
