The 11th International Symposium on Resistance Arteries (ISRA) will be held September 7-11, 2014 at the Banff Centre in Banff, AB in the Canadian Rockies. The symposium (subtitled From Molecular Machinery to Clinical Challenges) will gather together an international group of scientists with interest in the resistance vasculature at the foundational and applied level.

The keynote speaker for the 11th ISRA will be Dr Costantino Iadecola whose research and clinical career focuses on brain dysfunction as a result of stroke and dementia. Thematic symposia will center on ion channels, imaging, cytoskeletal dynamics, calcium sensitation, endothelial function, genetic regulation and vascular pathology.
