The International Aspirin Foundation expands its Scientific Advisory Board by appointing world leading neurologist Professor Pierre Amarenco The International Aspirin Foundation is delighted and honoured
International Aspirin Foundation scientific advisory board member Professor Lina Badimon pays tribute to our Senior Science Award 2020 recipients and reflects on her own career and ongoing interest in the use of low-dose aspirin as precision medicine. In conversation with health journalist Pennie Taylor, the Barcelona-based cardiovascular specialist discusses her work with UNESCO/UNITWIN where she has the Chair on Biomedical Sciences Training and Research, and the Balkan countries’ registry that is investigating aspirin for primary prevention. Powerfully, Professor Badimon also shares her views on the fast-changing role of women in science, an area for which she holds responsibility on the board of the European Society of Cardiology.

Professor Mazzeffi.
This virtual event celebrated the work of Professors Lars Wallentin, Bo Norrving, Jan van Gijn and Tom Meade, the scientists who led four pivotal low-dose aspirin trials, which ultimately contributed to the prevention of countless coronary and cardiovascular events worldwide.
Prof van Gijn discussed the optimal aspirin dose to reduce the risk of TIA’s or non-disabling brain ischaemia which led to the Dutch TIA trial. The trial proved 30mg was equal to 300mg in efficacy.
