Mapping Knowledge About Human Vasculature Across Body Scales, North American Vascular Biology Organization (NAVBO)

Time & Date

August 31, 2021 BST (UTC+1)

Organizers

Ondine Cleaver, UT Southwestern and Zorina Galis, NHLBI

Description

In this exciting session we want to explore new scientific and technological opportunities that allow overcoming the traditional challenge of systematically organizing knowledge of vasculature identity, diversity of structure and function, and its coordination and interactions with all body tissues and organs.

We will share the progress in mapping the vasculature at the anatomical level and in organizing knowledge about a number of human tissues and organs at single cell level through the Anatomical Structures Cell Types and biomarkers (ASCT+B) effort championed by the NIH Common Fund Human BioMolecular Program (NIH HuBMAP), for which NHLBI is a leading institute. All the tools and data generated, including tissue mapping information, are available to the entire scientific community through the HuBMAP Data Portal, encouraging wide scientific interrogation and collaborations.

Do you know what is still missing from the maps of all these human organs? The organotypic vasculature! Can you imagine a kidney, a heart, or any other organ without a vasculature? NAVBO is calling upon all vascular experts! Would you like to learn how YOU can help?
