Satellite Meeting

ISACB Satellite Symposium

Co-organizers: Elena Aikawa and Masanori Aikawa

ISACB Satellite Symposium “Molecular Imaging: Looking Toward Translation of Cardiovascular Technologies” will take place on Wednesday, September 22, 2010 in Boston, Massachusetts, preceding the Welcome Reception and formal opening of the 12th Biennial Meeting of ISACB.

The meeting will start at 12:00 pm and end at 4:00 pm. CICS, the meeting venue, is located in the Center for Life Sciences, 3 Blackfan Circle, in the Longwood Medical Area. The transportation between Cambridge Marriot (the venue for the main meeting) and CICS will be provided before and after the meeting.

The organizers have invited an expert team of speakers from academia and industry to discuss how to achieve more rapid translation of cardiovascular research on diagnostics and therapies into clinical practice.
