Join us at the Cardiac Safety Symposium 2025

Building on the success of past events, the 2025 Cardiac Safety Symposium is back to share the latest research on safety pharmacology, cardiac physiology, and electrophysiology. This event will focus on the assessment of stem cell-derived and native cardiomyocytes and the challenges involved in cardiac safety testing.

When: 21.05.2025

Venue: Virtual symposium

Key topics include

  • Current trends in safety pharmacology. Explore the latest updates on preventing drug-induced cardiotoxicity, with insights into emerging safety testing methods.
  • Learn about ongoing research from the HESI Stem Cell Working Group, focusing on chronic and acute effects of drugs on the heart.
  • Cardiac ion channel studies. Gain practical insights from case studies on cardiac ion channels and their role in heart function and drug interactions.

 

This symposium is ideal for scientists and professionals in drug development, safety pharmacology, and cardiac research, offering a platform to discuss the latest findings and advancements in the field.
