The North American Vascular Biology Organization (NAVBO) is a scientific society promoting knowledge exchange in the area of vascular biology.[1] The society organizes several international scientific meetings annually which broadly cover the areas of development of blood and lymphatic vasculature, cardiovascular and lymphatic disease, vascular matrix biology and vascular bioengineering.[2]
History
The North American Vascular Biology Organization was founded in 1994 as a non-profit scientific organization with voluntary membership.[3][4] Since its inception, the organization has welcomed members from various disciplines interested in vascular biology.
The inaugural president was Michael Gimbrone from Brigham & Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, who served from 1994 to 1995. He was succeeded by Stephen Schwartz from the University of Washington, who held the position from 1995 to 1996 before his death.
