On June 19 and 20, we attended the ninth edition of the DCVA-NLHI Translational Cardiovascular Research Meeting, organized by the Netherlands Heart Institute and the Dutch CardioVascular Alliance. These were two wonderful, inspiring days during which we were updated on developments in the cardiovascular research field.

During one of the presentation sessions, Marlies van Oostveen was able to talk about the growth of the Hartenbank and the available materials. Afterwards, visitors could ask questions at our information desk in the hall. It was good to see how much interest there is in our growing biobank!
