The workshop included exciting talks on employing engineering and classical biology approaches to study the complexity of vasculature during development, adulthood, and disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDespite the challenges associated with hosting a conference in pandemic times, the meeting had an excellent turnout with a number of participants coming from outside Europe, even as far as Japan,\u201d said Kristina Haase. \u201cAfter the pandemic, we all felt extremely fortunate to meet with colleagues in our field in this beautiful venue in front of the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Artboard-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Artboard-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Artboard-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Artboard-1-768x461.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">Coffee break at the EMBO Workshop Building Networks: engineering in vascular biology, which took place from 9th until 11th May 2022.

From the bio-engineering side, discussions included models of the blood brain barrier, which can be used to study diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s and cerebral malaria. Other highlights included models of endothelial dysfunction due to SARS-CoV-2 infections, cardiovascular diseases, and high-throughput patient-specific models for cancer screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Artboard-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Artboard-1-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Artboard-1-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Artboard-1-1-768x461.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">Hannah Fleckstein, postdoc at Bernabeu Group, during her talk at the conference.

Speakers and participants discussed how this field of research is boosting our understanding of tissue and organ function, and how its applications range from disease modelling to drug screening and tissue engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the scientific programme, this year\u2019s conference invited fifty secondary school students to discuss new biological systems, such as multicellular engineered living systems. These new tools could have implications for the future of medicine and our understanding of life. In small groups, the participants learned what these living systems are, and discussed who would benefit from this research and how, as well as future bioethical implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MCELS.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MCELS.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MCELS-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MCELS-768x461.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">Students shared their views on these new biological systems, their implications for the future of medicine, and our understanding of life.
