Traditionally, vascular biologists have relied on animal models to investigate key processes such as vascular signalling, angiogenesis, and remodelling. These models remain foundational, however, they do not always fully capture human-specific vascular behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, advances in multicellular systems, gene editing, stem cell technologies, and bioengineering have created new opportunities to study vascular biology <em>in vitro<\/em> using human cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This upcoming edition of the meeting aims to unite researchers working at the intersection of engineering and vascular biology, facilitating discussions on how to apply cutting-edge techniques in spatial omics, advanced imaging, and the use of AI in vascular research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vascular development, disease, and models<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mechano-vascular

You do not have to worry about timetables. Almost all attractions are within walking distance of a metro or tram station.

In Barcelona, there is a fairly dense network of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/irbarcelona.org\/getting-around-barcelona\/public-transportation\/nitbus-barcelona-night-bus\/\">night buses<\/a>&nbsp;to get you back to your hotel all night long. Except for the line N0 all lines stop at Pla\u00e7a Catalunya and can change there. The N0 line is a circular line that allows you to circle around the city center and change to the other NitBus. The night buses are operated by the private operator AMB, which is why the Barcelona Card and Hola BCN Ticket are not valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The N17 line goes to the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The operating hours of the NitBus are different for each line, but they run from about 22:00 to 05:00 clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address<\/strong>: Barcelona Biomedical Research Park, C\/ Doctor Aiguader, 88, 08003 Barcelona<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/sites\/barcelona\/\">EMBL Barcelona<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is located at the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.prbb.org\/\"><strong>Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB)<\/strong><\/a>.
