  Dr Anastasia Mihailidou is a Senior Hospital Scientist, who runs the Diagnostic Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) Clinical Service at one of the major teaching hospitals in Sydney and engages in both biomedical and clinical research as Head of the Cardiovascular & Hormonal Research Laboratory, Kolling Institute and Honorary Associate Professor, Macquarie University. Her research passion is accuracy of blood pressure measurement for self-management and prevention of hypertension and sex differences in hypertension. Anastasia’s career path has been non-traditional following her training in cardiovascular pharmacology and PhD. Her research skills in recovery surgery to induce heart failure and pharmacological studies in conscious dogs switched to conducting clinical trials for management of hypertension. During this period, she collaboratively translated ambulatory blood pressure from research to the clinical service she now runs. Anastasia then spent 10 years training in cellular electrophysiology before establishing her own biomedical laboratory. ecognition of her contribution to the hypertension field includes The Lancet appointing her to serve as one of the Commissioners for their Commission on Cardiovascular Disease in Women, her appointment on the Advisory Board of the STRIDE_BP to standardize blood pressure measurement, Nucleus member of the Working Group “Hypertension in Women” of the European Society of Hypertension, Member of the Council on Hypertenion of the European Society of Cardiology (2020-2024). Anastasia was on the High Blood Pressure Research Council of Australia (HBPRCA) Executive Committee and Chair of the International Society of Hypertension Communications Committee. Her recent appointment is member of the Clinical Council Committee for Hypertension Australia.

  Workshop Goals:

  1. To explore the role of social media in shaping academic and professional careers in pharmacology.
  2. To provide trainees and faculty with practical strategies for leveraging social media to advance their careers.
  3. To foster critical discussion about the benefits, risks, and ethical considerations of social media use in professional contexts.

  Learning Objectives:

  By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  Dear Colleagues and trainees,

  On behalf of the Canadian Society for Pharmacology and Therapeutics, it is our great pleasure to invite you to join us for the 2025 Annual Meeting, set to take place from June 2nd to 5th in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. This promises to be an extraordinary event where science, innovation, and collaboration converge in one of Canada’s most stunning cities.

  This year’s theme is “From the Sea to the Sky: Unlocking the mysteries of drug action”. The program is thoughtfully designed to provide a wealth of opportunities for learning, networking, and inspiration, beginning with an industry workshop tailored specifically for students and trainees.

  Over the course of the three main days of the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to explore ground-breaking, unpublished research presented by leading experts from Canada and around the world. The program will feature state-of-the-art symposia, a showcase of top-rated trainee abstracts, and invaluable opportunities to engage in discussions that will influence the future of pharmacology education.

  We are excited to present our keynote speakers:

  Terrance Snutch, PhD University of British Columbia
