BioTechMed-Graz invites you to the Faculty Club with Flagship Lecture on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at 5 p.m. at Graz University of Technology, Stremayrgasse 16, Lecture Hall BMT.
Kari Alitalo, from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Helsinki and Director of the Wihuri Research Institute, will talk about “Translational insights into endothelial growth factors”:
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are involved in orchestrating the development, maintenance and regeneration of the blood and lymphatic vessels. However, despite significant progress in mechanistic understanding of the function of VEGFs in various human disease processes, there has been limited translation of this knowledge to disease therapeutics. In my talk, I will review some of our attempts to make headway towards better understanding and proof-of-principle clinical translation of the VEGFs.
