TRR259 - Aortic Disease
The TRR259 is a Collaborative Research Center funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) at the University Bonn, Cologne, and Düsseldorf. In a joint and multidisciplinary effort, we are investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms of aortic disease holistically, with a particular focus on aortic valve stenosis, aortic aneurysm, and aortic dissection. Prospectively, we envision identifying novel pharmacological, interventional, and surgical targets for diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic strategies within the frame of translational and clinical studies.

On the sunny day of August 14, 2023, all scientists from the Düsseldorf site gathered for a kick-off event of the 2nd funding period of our TRR259 at Scotti’s Restaurant.
This year brings a very special honor as Dr. Andreas Zietzer has been selected to attend the 72nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. The participants had to undergo a lengthy application process to be eligible for the conference. A total of 635 young scientists from around the world have been invited to the meeting. As part of #LINO23, the selected participants can look forward to engaging talks, Agora discussions, and panel sessions, but most importantly, personal interactions with Nobel laureates and other young scientists.
The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) 2023 conference was held in Seattle, Washington, attracting researchers, scientists, and professionals from various disciplines and backgrounds. The event spanned over 17-21 May, providing a comprehensive platform for attendees to exchange knowledge, collaborate, and explore the latest developments in extracellular vesicles (EV) research.
