North American Vascular Biology Organization

The North American Vascular Biology Organization is a scientific society promoting knowledge exchange in the area of vascular biology.[1] The society organises several international scientific meetings annually which broadly cover the areas of development of blood and lymphatic vasculature, cardiovascular and lymphatic disease, vascular matrix biology and vascular bioengineering.[2]

History

The North American Vascular Biology Organization was founded in 1994 as a non-profit scientific organization with voluntary membership.[3][4]

Membership

The North American Vascular Biology Organization is open to those with an interest in the subject of vascular biology who wish to engage with members to promote the study and dissemination of scientific information relevant to vascular biology, and who meets the criteria established by the Council, which is elected by the Membership.[2]
