Fibrinolysis Down Under: Fundametal aspects and translational opportunities

We are immensely proud to invite you to the inaugural ISTH-funded Fundamental Research Workshop titled "Fibrinolysis down under: Fundamental aspects and translational opportunities" that will be held from November 11-14, 2024, in the beautiful and picturesque seaside town of Byron Bay, in northern NSW, Australia. Byron Bay is the eastern most point of Australia.

The story behind this workshop
The field of fibrinolysis has gained significant momentum in recent years. It plays a crucial role in removing blood clots in thromboembolic conditions and influencing bleeding in hyperfibrinolytic conditions. Moreover, its role in various other biological areas, including immunity, inflammation, brain function, malignancy, and metabolism, is becoming increasingly recognized.

The following topics will be covered during the meeting:
1. Cell and platelet surface plasminogen activation
2. New assays for fibrinolysis
3. The role of fibrinolysis in immunity and inflammation
4. New indications for anti-fibrinolytic agents: basis and clinical aspects
5. Ischaemic stroke: Animal models, new thrombolytic agents, adjunctive treatments and predictive tests
6. Malignancy

This workshop is open to everyone, with a specific focus on early and mid-career researchers in the region.
