Keynote Speaker
Dr. Philip Ainslie
As Professor, Canada Research Chair Cerebrovascular Physiology and the co-director of the Centre of Heart, Lung and Vascular Health at the University of British Columbia, Canada, Dr Ainslie's research program aims to better understand the mechanisms regulating brain blood flow in health, disease and during environmental stress. His diverse expertise in assessing cerebrovascular function during physiological scenarios ranging from sleep to exercise, the stresses of high altitude to deep-sea diving, and healthy aging to heart disease, has made him a leading authority on brain vascular function. His work in cerebrovascular physiology and pathology encompasses the lifespan, with clinical focus on spinal cord injury, lung disease and ischemic brain injuries. Phil has published >350 peer-reviewed full manuscripts and has recently co-authored two textbooks in the area of environmental physiology. In addition to mechanistic laboratory-based experiments he leads regular field expeditions, including various outreach initiatives, to high altitude to study acclimatization and adaptation with particular focus on indigenous populations located in the mountainous regions of Tibet, South America and Ethiopia. Phil has won numerous national and international awards for his research and sits on various senior international scientific leadership and advisory groups. He also currently co-organizes a number of international conferences related to cerebrovascular and environmental physiology.
Talk Title: Cerebral blood flow control in extreme environments: lessons from indigenous high-altitude natives to deep-sea free divers

Poster Registration and Submission
Undergraduates, graduate students, residents, and postdoctoral fellows are invited to participate in the poster/abstract competition.
Abstracts should contain a brief introduction, rationale, statement of methods, results, and a discussion/conclusion. The abstract is expected to be prepared by the candidate, in consultation with the faculty mentor. Please also include Lab Affiliation and any advanced degrees held in the Email body. Abstracts need to be submitted no later than Friday, February 4th (extended from 1/17).
The poster should be submitted in .PDF format prior to Thursday, Feburary 24th (extended from 2/14)for consideration in poster competition. Please send the PDF to mucvday@missouri.edu.
Final judging will be based on the overall poster presentation including scientific merit, presentation and ability to communicate. Prizes will be awarded to the top posters in each category.
Please send all communication to mucvday@missouri.edu
Event Information
This years Cardiovascular Day will be held, in person, off campus, at the Hilton Inn Garden Conference Center at 3300 Vandiver Drive (map). This is right next door to Bass Pro off of Hwy63, just North of the I-70/Hwy63 interchange.
