The “8th NCCR Retreat” from the DZHK Partner
Site Hamburg/Kiel/Luebeck was conducted from June 28th to 29th. This retreat
provided a remarkable opportunity to clinician scientists, researchers, and students to
improve their understanding of the complexity of heart diseases.
The event took place at Hotel Schloss
Tremsbuettel which is located in the Holstein landscape between Hamburg, Kiel,
and Luebeck, which indeed was the best place for the conference and for a
relaxing evening.
It was my first visit to NCCR Retreat
since I joined ICG-Luebeck in 2018. Scientific sessions in a meeting covered a
wide array of topics on heart diseases. The keynote lecture was given by Prof.
Johann Bauersachs from Hannover, who talked about "heart failure - state of
the art". Zouhair from ICG-Luebeck gave a presentation on ADAMTS7, a
CAD risk gene, as a target to inhibit atherosclerosis. Several posters were also presented, and my
colleagues Anja, Marlon, and Viviana gave poster presentations.
The event provides an outstanding
opportunity to learn the molecular causes of myocardial diseases and cardiac
insufficiency.
There were refreshment breaks between the
sessions and in the evening it was a great dinner which provides an opportunity
for all the participants to relax and enjoy in a beautiful environment of the
castle's own restaurant. The amazing park, the building interior, and the room
were fantastically beautiful.
It was such a rewarding experience to be part of this
NCCR retreat :)
