Focus of the Meeting

The second international “Cell Culture Under Flow” meeting will bring together scientists from a variety of fields (e.g., vascular research, immunology, barrier function), who cultivate cells under shear stress.

Participants will have the chance to present their most recent work. In addition, both young and experienced scientists will have the opportunity to network and discuss future objectives of this field of research. Abstracts will be selected for oral presentation and posters.
