  • 8th Cardiovascular Symposium Receives School of Medicine Impact Symposia Award

    Congratulations to Don Bers, Ph.D., Ele Grandi, Ph.D., and Manuel Navedo, Ph.D., for receiving the School of Medicine’s Inaugural Impact Symposia Award for support towards the 2025 UC Davis Cardiovascular Symposium! This School of Medicine funding initiative was implemented to help departments within the School of Medicine host high-quality symposia that advance its research mission, bring thought leaders to campus, and raise awareness of its research excellence. To this purpose, the team was awarded $15,000 in funds, which will help to enhance the 2025 symposium. Bers, Grandi, and Navedo are also preparing to submit an NIH-R13 proposal, which, if funded, will further ensure this to be a successful event.

    The 8th UC Davis Cardiovascular Symposium was held Feb. 13 and 14, 2025, at the UC Davis Conference Center and featured local and international experts and trainees.
