BAS Annual Meeting 2026

BAS Annual Meeting 2026 runs at Worcester College, Oxford, from 10 to 11 September 2026 under the theme New branches in atherosclerosis research: from discovery to intervention. It is a research-facing cardiovascular meeting with sessions on cardio-rheumatology, cardiovascular oncology, cardio-metabolism, and bench-to-bedside translation. The speaker list includes the Hugh Sinclair memorial lecture by Prof Matthias Nahrendorf and invited talks from academic, clinical and industry contributors across inflammation, immunology, metabolism, imaging and drug development.

Abstract submission opens on Monday 2 March and closes at 17:00 on Monday 22 June 2026. The BAS page states that shortlisted work can be presented in the Early Career Investigator oral abstract competition or as moderated scientific posters, making the meeting particularly useful for trainees and early-career researchers with atherosclerosis work. Abstracts are submitted as Microsoft Word files, with a 250-word limit and one A4 sheet maximum. No explicit abstract-publication outlet was stated on the inspected pages. Registration opened on Monday 11 May. The standard non-member fee is GBP430; BAS ordinary, senior or honorary members pay GBP285, junior members GBP175 and student members GBP110. Accommodation and dinner are optional paid extras. CPD accreditation and CPD points were not stated.
