Upcoming Medical Conferences in Denmark

European Congress of Medical Physics is organized by European Federation of Organizations for Medical Physics (EFOMP) and will be held from Aug 23 - 25, 2018 at H.C. Orsted Institute, Copenhagen, Copenhagen (Hovedstaden), Denmark. The purpose of the 2nd European Congress of Medical Physics is to connect the medical physics specialties and create a common forum for networking, sharing knowledge, and focusing on the physics within the field of medicine. The 1st ECMP Congress had 650 participants from all over Europe. We expect at least this number in Copenhagen. The ECMP embraces the science across our clinical subspecialties. The congress will facilitate the synergy between industry, research, and clinical practice that ultimately leads to improvements in health care. The medical physics societies in Denmark and Sweden are jointly hosting this main biennial EFOMP event. Medical physics has a strong and longstanding tradition in both countries with pioneering contributions having been made in nuclear medicine, diagnostic radiology, radiation dosimetry, and radiation therapy physics. In addition, both countries share a long history of successful commercialization of medical physics technologies and conceptual advances over the years. Additional Details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Course on How does endometriosis cause pain is organized by European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) and will be held during Sep 17 - 18, 2018 at Copenhagen, Copenhagen (Hovedstaden), Denmark. The target audience for this medical event is Clinicians, clinical researchers, basic scientists and patient associations with an interest in endometriosis-associated pain. Conference Description : Novel pelvic pain mechanisms and possible treatment and research targets will be discussed. They will be considered beyond the boundaries of gynecology, with international pain specialists presenting their facts and views. This course, organized by ESHRE SIG Endometriosis and Endometrial Disorders, is aimed at clinicians, clinical researchers, basic scientists and patient associations with an interest in endometriosis-associated pain. It will combine expertise from the fields of pain neuroscience and endometriosis to provide an update on current knowledge regarding mechanisms generating and maintaining pain, as well as research methodologies for both preclinical and clinical research. This includes exciting talks about peripheral, central and visceral pain mechanisms, as well as hormonal influences on pain. After reviewing the role of the somatic nervous system in endometriosis, the role of neuropelveology as a new approach to pelvic pain and dysfunction will be discussed. Next, in-depth reviews of comorbid pain conditions and alterations in the central nervous system specifically for endometriosis will be presented. After discussing the role of the pelvic inflammatory environment and macrophage function on endometriosis-pain, these insights will be translated to research, such as animal models for pelvic pain, and the importance of patient-reported outcome measures and standardization of data collection will be investigated. Conference Objectives are : • Update on current knowledge regarding generating pain • Update on current knowledge regarding maintaining pain • Update on research methodologies for both preclinical and clinical research Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

5th annual Genomic Medicine Nordic Conference is organized by Biotexcel Limited and will be held during Oct 01 - 03, 2018 at University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Southern Denmark (Syddanmark), Denmark. The target audience for this medical event is NGS users, researchers, students, Bioinformaticians, NHS & Private Labs, Biotech Companies, CRO’s, Service Providers an and others interested in the latest developments of Biomarkers, Computational Biology, Data Analysis, Data interpretation, DNA Sequencing, Genetics/Genomics, Infectious and Inherited Diseases, NGS Data Storage, Informatics, Molecular and Cell Biology, Molecular Diagnostics.
