3rd ANGIONET MEETING 18-20 June 2007 | Photos | Angionet home page

The 3rd ANGIONET meeting was held in Coleraine on Monday 18 to Wednesday 20 June 2007.
The meeting included an excursion to the Bushmills distillery and the Giant's causeway.

The meeting was a great success, with many very interesting talks and much lively discussion. We were all exposed to some of the latest research in angiogenesis, including approaches from a variety of disciplines. Perhaps more importantly, lots of new contacts between disciplines were made.

Some photos from the meeting (and predominantly the trip to the Giant's Causeway) can be found here.
