Introduction
A 5-day program on Cardiovascular Safety Pharmacology and Cardio-Oncology consisting of theoretical lectures complemented by hands-on sessions in associated technologies. This course is a continuation of the EU-funded collaborative training network in safety pharmacology INSPIRE (www.inspire-safety-pharmacology.eu), which in the past four years has built a training program benefiting from the academic, industrial, and clinical perspectives by exploring the latest technological capabilities to address emerging cardiovascular and cardio-oncology safety concerns.
Social Program
In order to keep the spirits high and to give you an extra opportunity to get to know your classmates, a number of fun social activities will be organized during the afternoons and evenings. Most of the activities are offered free of charge and, only in a few cases, participants will be asked for a deposit which will be reimbursed upon participation in the activity. A detailed social program will be launched in the coming months. In the meantime, we invite you to stay tuned through the social media channels of the Antwerp Summer and Winter University.
Ideal Students
INSPIRE Summer School is addressed to master graduate students, PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and professionals in the field of Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences and other Life Sciences (including Bio-Medical Sciences and Bio-Engineering).
