8^th Cardiovascular Symposium Receives Inaugural School of Medicine Impact Symposia Award

Donald M. Bers, Ph.D.

Eleonora Grandi, Ph.D.

Manuel Navedo, Ph.D.

Congratulations to Don Bers, Ph.D., Ele Grandi, Ph.D. and Manuel Navedo, Ph.D. for receiving 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 to host high quality symposia that advance its research mission and 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 8^th UC Davis Cardiovascular Symposium will be held February 13 and 14, 2025 at the UC Davis Conference Center and will feature local and international experts and trainees. More details can be found HERE.
