Current event:
On 16.10.2024 at 17:00 the next Flagship Lecture will take place at TU Graz (Stremayrgasse 16, first floor, lecture hall BMT).
Prof. Kari Alitalo from the University of Helsinki, Finland, will give a lecture on"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.
