Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, is a "common denominator" shared by diseases affecting more than one billion people worldwide. This includes cancer, complications of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and more than 70 other major health conditions affecting children and adults in developed and developing nations. This global event will bring together a wide range of stakeholders of angiogenesis research and treatment — patients, caregivers, advocates, researchers, clinicians, investigators — to discuss exciting treatment breakthroughs, bold ideas to advance patient outcomes, research across different fields of angiogenesis (oncology, ophthalmology, cardiology and wound healing), and the future of angiogenesis-based treatments.
