A major goal of this conference will be to bring together clinical and basic researchers from all over the globe with an interest in ENaC (and related transporters) and aldosterone, particularly as they pertain to renal and cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension. Hence, the scientific themes are a blend of clinical, basic and translational research, which allow a diverse community to break down obstacles to communication and engage in crosstalk, which would not otherwise be possible. By focusing on ENaC and aldosterone in the context of the renal and cardiovascular systems, the meeting provides a window into basic and clinical questions, which are fundamental to human biology in health and disease.
The conference program combines presentations from leading authorities with presentations from young investigators pursuing research on ENaC and aldosterone. Ample time for poster sessions will allow for in-depth discussions, and special abstract-based oral sessions will highlight ongoing research of students, fellows, and young scientists.
