Engineering Vascularization is the topic of the eleventh Johns Hopkins Nano-Bio Symposium. An amazing line-up of speakers will reveal what it’s like to explore the creation of blood vessel systems in lab-grown tissue. The presenters are:

• Shahin Rafii, Cornell University
  Angiocrine Functions of Organotypic Endothelium in Regeneration and Tumorigenesis
• David Cheresh, UCSD
  Reprogramming the Endothelium, an Initial Step in the Process of Angiogenesis
• David Kaplan, Tufts
  Strategies for Vascularization of Biomaterial Systems for Tissue Regeneration
• Narutoshi Hibino, JHU
  Challenge to Cardiovascular Disease Using 3D Printing and Tissue Engineering
• Zaver Bhujwalla, JHU
  Imaging to Navigate the Tumor Microenvironment
• Warren Grayson, JHU
  Platform Technologies for Engineering Vascularized Tissue Grafts

The day continues with a bustling poster session on a wide range of research topics. Students and researchers working in all aspects of nanobiotechnology are invited to participate.

The event, jointly orgazined by INBT and the Physical Sciences-Oncology Center, is free and open to the Johns Hopkins University community and select other academic institutions. A registration fee may apply to other attendees.
