As Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease (JCDD), I am pleased to announce that the winner of the 2018 JCDD Travel Award (2nd period) is Dr. Colette A. Bichsel, a postdoctoral researcher at Boston Children’s Hospital, who will receive 500 Swiss Francs towards her travel expenses to attend the International Vascular Biology Meeting, held in Helsinki, Finland.
Dr. Bichsel’s current research focuses on cellular and biomimicking in vitro models to study capillary malformations. The major conclusion of Dr. Bichsel’s research presented in her abstract for this meeting is that they found that GNAQ-mutant endothelial cells in CM lesions are associated with LYVE1+/MRC1+ accessory cells.
