World experts from the medical and scientific community met in Berlin to celebrate and explore the current understanding of aspirin’s multifaceted role in modern Medicine.  It is remarkable, 120 years on from when Aspirin was first synthesised by Dr Felix Hoffmann, that the interest in its clinical utilization continues to grow. This multi-disciplinary conference, set within the walls of the preserved ruins of Rudolf Virchow’s lecture hall at Charité, within Berlin’s Museum of Medical History, witnessed lively discussion and excitement regarding novel mechanistic insights and current indications for aspirin’s use. Delegates from the Chinese Society of Cardiology joined the cardiology session via a live streaming link further enhancing the international perspective.
