That’s a wrap for 2025! 🎁 Proud of the work we’ve done with our team this year. Time for a well-deserved break. Happy holidays 🎄! Looking forward to a productive 2026! #KroonLab #EndothelialCells #CardiovascularDisease #ImmunoMetabolism @amsterdamumc

We're now inviting expressions of interest from national atherosclerosis or related societies interested in hosting the EAS Congress in 2029 or 2030. Each year, the EAS Congress brings together leading experts, clinicians, and researchers in the field of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular prevention. The congress moves between European cities to ensure accessibility for members across regions and is organized in collaboration with the national society of the host country. To assist you in preparing a proposal, please refer to the EAS Congress Bid Guide, which outlines the process, requirements, and selection criteria: eas.to/EASGuideBid @ProfKausikRay @KatiOorni

It was a pleasure presenting our work on the pathophysiology of Lp(a) in ASCVD and AVS at #ISFA2025 in Bangkok. What a great conference with fantastic colleagues it was!

In recent weeks, our focus has been on the EAS Congress and the new Consensus Statement, but we mustn't forget about our recent AtheroTalk episodes. One of them addresses the question: How do you build confidence and momentum early in your research career? Prof. @KroonLab shares his perspective on navigating the competitive world of academic science. From applying for grants to leading innovative research, he offers practical advice on taking bold steps forward. His key message? “Don’t hesitate – go for it!” Whether it’s your first grant application or a new research idea, Prof. Kroon encourages young scientists to be proactive and persistent. 🎧 Spotify: eas.to/ATHTalkE12S 🎧 Apple Podcasts: eas.to/ATHTalkE12A 🎧 Youtube: eas.to/ATHTalkE12Y @ProfKausikRay @KatiOorni

The 93rd EAS Congress commentary is Onlife! Written by @KroonLab, @Charis_Oxford & me 🎉 Fancy reliving it? Grab a coffee ☕️ & have a read 👉 shorturl.at/RbFde Fun Fact: there’s a nod to a classic Scottish song dating back to the 1745… can you spot it?

It was such a pleasant experience to join #AtheroTalk and be interviewed by @azinkh96 @PGolforoush , where I shared my perspective on navigating the unpredictable world of academic science. Thank you #EASYoungFellows and all behind the scenes! @EASCongress @society_eas

We are going to trade in our lab coats for Christmas sweaters - we wish you all you happy holidays! ✨

Enjoyed the GRC on Lipoprotein Metabolism to the fullest! Excellent science, amazing colleagues and memorable moments. It was a pleasure presenting our data on the pathophysiology of Lp(a). Huge thanks to the chairs @MarlysLPA and @SahooDaisy! Looking forward to the next one.

It’s time to vote for the future of the #EAS. It is my pleasure to be one of the candidates eligible as ordinary Member responsible for the interaction with the National societies. Time to vote if you have not done yet. I look forward to meet all of you in #glasgow for #EAS2025
