Forty-seven speakers, chairs, organisers and cardiac regeneration researchers joined us in Oxford immediately after the Liverpool meeting. This meeting highlighted the recent developments in the field of cardiac regeneration and development, with an emphasis on findings from animal models with natural ability for heart regeneration, including the zebrafish and neonatal mouse.

The organisers, Dr Mathilda Mommersteeg (University of Oxford, UK), Dr Caroline Pellet-Many (The Royal Veterinary College, London, UK) and Professor Paul Riley (University of Oxford, UK) convened a wide-reaching programme, which included 12 oral communication presentations, many of which were given by early career researchers.

This meeting was supported by the British Heart Foundation Oxbridge Centre of Regenerative Medicine.

I really enjoyed going to The Physiological Society meeting on “Regenerating the Cardiovascular System: Mending Broken Hearts and Beyond”, because it was an intimate and interactive meeting with many experts in the field. The excellent talks led to interesting discussions that gave me new insights into cardiac regeneration that could benefit my own research projects. Furthermore, I am extremely honoured that the committee selected my talk for the Best Oral Communication Award. I am looking forward to the next one.
