Common mechanisms in cardiovascular disease and cancer: focus on platelet activation and inhibition

October 26 th - 28 th 2026

Course direction: Pietro Minuz, Paola Patrignani, Carlo Patrono

The aim of the course is to focus on recent scientific knowledge concerning common pathophysiological, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Particular attention is given to mechanisms of platelet activation and the interactions between platelets and pathways of inflammatory and immune response, as well as to drugs that target platelets in both clinical and experimental treatments across diverse clinical contexts. Senior Scientists will mentor early-career Researchers in these advanced topics by showcasing their recent research findings. Consistent with the International School's tradition, participants are encouraged to actively engage in discussions and to present their scientific work through posters or brief oral presentations.

Organising Committee: Andrea Dalbeni, Cristiano Fava, Michael Holinstat, Ruth Langley, Rahul Roychoudhuri, David Sacerdoti, Dieter Steinhilber, Stefania Tacconelli.
