Highlights of #vasculitismelbourne #IVW26 presented by @ANZVASC and @thelimbicrheum. A great summary by @drdavidliew highlighting some of the interesting work in the "non-AAV" vasculitides. Also excellent talks from Dr Limy Wong and Dr Irene Ruderman - chaired by @hollylhutton

Very proud of my former PhD student, Dr Karl Gisslander, who delivered an inspiring talk:
“A data-driven subclassification of ANCA-associated vasculitis.”
Wonderful to see the next generation advancing our field. Well done, Karl!
