Upcoming Medical Conferences in Germany

Advanced minimally invasive pediatric surgery - international workshop and hands-on course on small animal models is organized by Aesculap Academy GmbH / Aesculap Akademie GmbH and will be held from Dec 06 - 07, 2019 at Langenbeck-Virchow-Haus, Berlin, Germany.  Target Group: Medical Doctor / Clinical Specialist Description: A very limited number of participants will be trained by experts in minimally invasive surgery and the ratio between experts and participants will be optimal.

EMBL | Wellcome Genome Campus Conference: Target Validation Using Genomics and Informatics is organized by European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and will be held from Dec 08 - 10, 2019 at EMBL Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Conference Overview:  In association with Wellcome Genome Campus, we are pleased to announce the annual conference on Target Validation using Genomics and Informatics. In the past few years, exceptional progress has been made in making available thousands of DNA variants that are robustly associated with clinically relevant human traits.  This is providing a rich source of molecular points for drug discovery and a deeper understanding of human biology. This meeting will highlight advances in the use of high-throughput methods and functional validation techniques that can influence the selection of new drug targets and the development of precision medicine. We will discuss the progress and challenges of using gene editing (e.g. CRISPR) in human cells to develop validation approaches. The programme will also present recent advances in visualisation techniques, computational tools and new platforms that provide data integration and can enhance the user experience. This meeting will bring together researchers based in academia and industry to focus on the opportunities and challenges for genomics in drug discovery. Multi-omics (e.g. genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics), epidemiology, molecular biology and computational approaches will be covered, focusing on the contributions of these methods to target validation.  Session Topics: • Genetics • Case Studies • Functional Genomics Technologies: Genome Editing • Functional Genomics Technologies: Phenotypic Screens • Computational Methods and Analysis

Basic Course Laparoscopic Surgery is organized by Aesculap Academy GmbH / Aesculap Akademie GmbH and will be held from Dec 09 - 12, 2019 at Aesculap Academy GmbH, Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.  Target group: Physicians Course Description: The basic course provides an introduction to general aspects of laparoscopic surgery. In the foreground is the laparoscopic cholecystectomy, whereby an overview of the further spectrum of laparoscopic operations, eg. B. laparoscopic appendectomy, endoscopic herniotomy is given. The theoretical content will be supplemented in the workshop by practical exercises. Participants perform laparoscopic cholecystectomies and appendectomies on preparations in Pelvic and Perfusion trainers and practice laparoscopic suturing and knotting techniques. Additional basic exercises at the virtual simulation trainer make it possible to give participants measurable feedback on their learning curve. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
