Following the well-attended EACPT international summer school in 2013 in Edinburgh, the next European Association for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics [EACPT] update for young researchers is the 2014 EACPT Focus Meeting on 'Drugs to Fight Cardiovascular Damage'. The EACPT Focus Meeting will provide you with the opportunity to attend state of the art lectures from leading professionals and researchers, including hands-on workshops. 
Topics include ultrasound imaging of vascular injury (including a hands-on workshop), the microbiome and inflammation in the metabolic syndrome, targeting inflammation to prevent and treat atherosclerosis, diagnosis and therapy of adrenal hypertension, and protection against ischaemia-reperfusion injury.

This EACPT Cardiovascular Focus Meeting is of interest to clinical pharmacologists, pharmacologists, and other young scientists and clinicians interested in drug treatment of cardiovascular disease. You can listen here to podcasts with international delegates at the last EACPT summer meeting in Edinburgh in 2013.
