The recent 11th Annual Short Course on Genetic Approaches to
Complex Heart, Lung, and Blood Diseases ended October 28th. This highly successful event offered presentations from many of the field's best scientists. Please enjoy a selection of their presentations, which we have posted here, mostly in PDF format:
