Dutch Atherosclerosis Society
Welcome to the homepage of the
Dutch Atherosclerosis Society (DAS): the Society for scientific research in the area of atherosclerosis and vascular biology.
About Us
The goal of the Dutch Atherosclerosis Society is to stimulate the development and performance of clincal and basic scientific research in the field of atherosclerosis and vascular biology. Their main focus is translating and linking basic science into clinical practice (‘from bench to bedside’), whereas the DAS plays an important role in exchanging existing knowledge and new insights. Furthermore, the DAS also has a significant task in stimulating new research initiatives and in driving interdisciplinary collaborations.
A major element of the DAS activities is its annual scientific
'Cardiovascular Biology Meeting'.
This 2-day programme has an exclusive training and educational programme for PhD students and medical specialists in training on Thursday followed by a jointly dinner. On Friday the scientific programme is compiled by numerous brief presentations of preselected abstracts (in three categories:
lipid metabolism & metabolic diseases, vascular biology & vascular medicine and clinical & experimental cardiology) in combination with poster sessions and keynote lecture presented by an international renowned expert on atherosclerosis and/or vascular biology. The best abstract presentors of each category (selected by the DAS Board) and the best posters will receive DAS-Fellowships.
