Rembrandt Symposium
The Rembrandt Symposium is an annual event that is organized by the Rembrandt Institute of Cardiovascular Science (RICS), in which the research efforts on cardiovascular disease in Leiden (LUMC, LACDR) and Amsterdam (Amsterdam UMC, Sanquin) are combined. The meeting aims to exchange current research ideas and initiate novel collaborations. Next to
contributions from renowned key-note speakers active in (pre)clinical cardiovascular research, young cardiovascular investigators are encouraged to present their work.
