Breakthrough Series: Frontiers in Heart Failure

Presented by LifeScience Alley & the U of MN

10/27/2008

Time

Registration: 7:30 am - 8:00 am
Program: 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Event Description

The topic of this Breakthrough Series event is Heart Failure, presenting important academic research into prevalence and incidence, cardiac remodeling and heart failure, and advanced and emerging therapies. Sixteen leading researchers and speakers from the University of Minnesota are confirmed for this full-day program.

Breakthrough technology calls for Breakthrough collaboration between the University of Minnesota and the member organizations of LifeScience Alley. LifeScience Alley has joined with the Office of Clinical Research at the University of Minnesota in this educational partnership.

This program will be highly interactive. Presentations and panel discussions will add intellectual depth to our understanding of current and future research directions, and will look at emerging interventions. Question-and-answer periods will give everyone opportunities to interact with presenters and with each other. The purpose is to enhance Minnesota-based leadership in new technology. This topic will not be sufficiently covered in one day. We intend to address heart failure again in a subsequent program emphasizing industry initiatives. Don't miss this spotlight on academic breakthroughs, and watch for more.
