Description
Virtual Workshop Sponsored by the NIH/NHLBI, Boston Lymphatic Symposium Pre-Conference.
This workshop brought together clinicians and basic science researchers to explore
the challenges and opportunities toward developing an open-access knowledge base and map
of the human lymphatic system. We emphasized the relevance of the fundamental understanding
of lymphatic system structure and function, and its coordination and interactions with other body
tissues and organs, for improving the clinical management of lymphatic dysfunction and diseases.
International experts reviewed the state of current fundamental and clinical understanding and
the remaining challenges, including presenting the latest advances in lymphatic imaging at the
clinical level, and the use of novel single cell technologies to map the lymphatic organs,
discoveries of lymphatic system biomarkers, and engaged the audience in a collective effort
to leverage modern data management and computational approaches.
