Klaus Ley - Elongated neutrophil-derived structures (ENDS) in the blood circulation

Klaus Ley is Professor and Head at the Division of Inflammation Biology at La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, United States. His team studies inflammation in health and disease. One part of the lab focuses on atherosclerosis, the disease of arteries that causes heart attacks, strokes and other problems. Another part studies the very basic mechanisms by which immune cells reach sites of inflammation.

The Berlin Center for Translational Vascular Biomedicine, jointly founded by the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in the Helmholtz Association, represents an interdisciplinary scientific network with the pronounced aim to foster translation in the field of vascular biomedicine. It unites leading scientific knowledge with clinical expertise and thereby promotes the transfer of scientific insights to clinical use.
Pursuing its mission, the Center initiated the Lecture Series “Vascular Networking” to invite distinguished experts and promote international scientific exchange to both enrich the Berlin scientific community and provide the foundation for new and visionary collaborations.
The lecture series is conducted in an online-format and attracts a broad audience from the wider Berlin community. The online event will comprise a 45 min talk and a 15 min open discussion followed by a 1 hour closed exchange with 3-4 interested experts. These slots are allocated on a first come first served basis. If you are interested please indicate so on your event registration.
