1 COVER 8th Annual Chfr Symposium Program and ABSTRACTS September 30 October 01, 2010

2 Center for Heart Failure Research 20ı0 Dear Participant, We are very pleased to welcome you to the 8th Annual CHFR Symposium. We look forward to a very exciting meeting, fruitful discussions and scientific interactions. The Center for Heart Failure Research constitutes a branch of medical research within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of. It is financially supported by the University and the South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority (Helse Sør-Øst). The Center represents the concerted action of groups with complementary expertise combining state-ofthe-art gene technology and capabilities to investigate protein function in experimental systems. The systems range from isolated cells and multicellular preparations to integrative physiology in pathophysiological models of heart failure. The clinical research groups of the Center for Heart Failure Research allow for testing of hypotheses in prospective clinical studies. The Center also organizes the PhD School of Heart Research that provides a high quality program specifically aimed at qualifying PhD students for future careers in heart research. The School hosts an annual introductory course as well as workshops for ongoing projects, and it provides a network for collaborations and exchange of methods and ideas within the Center. The Center also organizes the required mid-term evaluation (midtveisevaluering) of the PhD candidates in the field of heart research. We are happy to announce that the is sponsored by the Anders Jahre s Fund for Promotion of Science. Our main aim is to promote and integrate high quality research from bench to bedside in the field of heart failure.
