VEDS Scientific Meeting

To facilitate and maintain international collaboration between scientists in the field, we collaborate with the DEFY Foundation to host recurring VEDS Scientific Meetings.

These scientific meetings convene the top researchers in VEDS from around the world to discuss key research goals and progress on VEDS.

These meetings are held at several-year intervals to allow time for sufficient progress and the assessment of new advances and their impact.

DEFY VEDS Scientific Meeting, August 29, 2022

The one-day in-person meeting will be held on Monday, August 29, 2022, from 8:00
am – 5:00 pm in Paris, France, as part of The Marfan Foundation’s Science in Paris meeting. Registration is open at https://marfan.org/scienceinparis/.

Science in Paris, August 29- September 1, 2022

The Marfan Foundation’s Science in Paris meeting will take place August 29- September 1, 2022. The goal of the meeting is to bring together national and international researchers and clinicians focused on genetic aortic and vascular conditions, enhancing collaboration and discovery to ultimately benefit patients and families.

This four day event will feature three separate, but connected, scientific meetings on Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Day 1), Marfan, Loeys-Dietz, and related syndromes (Days 2 and 3), and the GenTAC Aortic Summit (Day 4). Clinicians in all disciplines, surgeons, and researchers are welcome to attend.
