IEMR has hosted this course since its beginning, and a large number of IEMR staff is involved. PhD student Mani Sadredini has been the main organizer of the course for the last years, backed by Professor Mathis Korseberg Stokke. The registration for the course was full, as has been the tradition, and provided an excellent opportunity for early career cardiovascular researchers to meet and expand their networks, as well as their insights in key methods.
