Our aim is to better understanding how the brain’s blood vessels function, how they contribute to disease and how their function can improved to reduce the incidence of neurological disorders and improve the quality of life of all Australasian communities and beyond. To achieve this, we are committed to fostering an innovative, collaborative and inclusive community of students, researchers, clinicians and consumers dedicated to sharing knowledge in order to accelerate study translation and implementation into practice.
We are dedicated to fostering an environment where members can stay at the forefront of cerebrovascular research. By sharing the latest studies, data, and cutting-edge techniques through our website, seminars and conferences, CVBA supports its members in advancing their understanding of brain vascular function and its role in health and disease.
Collaboration is at the heart of CVBA's mission. We actively promote the development of new partnerships among our members and with external stakeholders, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches to address the challenges of cerebrovascular health and disease.
CVBA is committed to transforming research into real-world outcomes. We facilitate the dissemination of data and findings, accelerate the translation of studies into clinical and commercial applications, and aim to create meaningful impacts on patient care and community health.
The CVBA EMCR Committee is dedicated to supporting the next generation of researchers in cerebrovascular biology. Our mission is to foster professional growth, mentorship, and collaboration by organising workshops, seminars, and networking opportunities. We aim to create an inclusive and supportive environment where emerging researchers can develop skills, build connections, and contribute to impactful research that advances cerebrovascular health.
