The 7th Oulu Symposium

Advances in Molecular Mechanisms of Heart Failure and Myocardial Repair & Natriuretic Peptide Research

August 30th – September 2nd, 2012, Oulu, Finland

The symposium will bring together leading scientist to discuss topics at the forefront of heart failure and natriuretic peptide research. The meeting will be organised by Departments of Pharmacology and Toxicology and Physiology, the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Cardiovascular Diseases and Type 2 Diabetes Research, and Biocenter Oulu Doctoral Programme. Students, MDs and scientists at different stages of their career are encouraged to participate.

Topics: Molecular mechanisms of myocyte hypertrophy Signalling pathways in heart failure Use natriuretic peptides to guide and monitor therapy Designer natriuretic peptides New targets to treat structural remodelling of the myocardium Role of microRNAs in cardiovascular diseases Cell therapy for myocardial repair Novel heart failure therapeutics
