3rd Munich Conference
on Cardiac Development
From current understanding
to new regenerative concepts
June 1st – 3rd 2016
Wednesday, June 1st
Dear colleagues and friends,
Inauguration New Research Building 9:30 – 11:00
Opening Remarks Heribert Schunkert
During the last years, innovative progress has been made in
cardiac developmental biology, cardiovascular genetics and stem
cell research, opening up new opportunities for the development
of cardiac regenerative treatment strategies.
Secretary of State, Ministry of Research and
Education of Bavaria Bernd Sibler
Medical Director of the German Heart Center
Heribert Schunkert
The 3rd Munich Conference on Cardiac Development –
From current understanding to new regenerative concepts,
to be held in the
German Heart Center, Munich, Germany, on June 1st to 3rd 2016
will focus on current understanding of heart disease and how to
proceed to new regenerative concepts to foster future therapeutic
regenerative treatment strategies.
The first day of the conference will focus on challenges in
cardiovascular research considered from different perspectives
and genetics and precision medicine in cardiovascular diseases.
The second day proceeds with genetics and precision medicine
in cardiovascular diseases and then addresses inflammation
and repair after ischemic injury. Furthermore, clonal growth
during cardiac development is in the focus and last but not
least microRNAs in development and disease.
The third day concentrates on cardiac regeneration, addressing
aspects of cardiomyocytes versus non-cardiomyocytes and the
translational part of regenerative therapies in large animals
and humans. The last session will be on cardiac ageing.
