4th Annual International Conference on New Concepts in Lymphoid Malignancies: Focus on Aggressive Lymphoma is organized by European School of Haematology (ESH) and will be held during Sep 28 - 30, 2018 at Dublin, Leinster, Ireland. The target audience for this medical event is Hematologists and Oncologists. Conference Description : The conference will cover all aspects of aggressive lymphoma from molecular pathogenesis to state of the art therapy, including educational lectures to cutting-edge science in this very rapidly moving field. The goal of this conference is to foster scientific exchange between laboratory scientists and clinicians working on lymphoid malignancies worldwide. It is also to offer a unique educational and international networking opportunity to all attendees, including young trainees in hematology, the future leaders in the field. A faculty of international experts will review the most recent developments in the biology and therapy of aggressive lymphomas and engage in discussions addressing current challenges. Conference Objectives are: • Principles and current developments of molecular pathogenesis of different aggressive lymphoma subtypes • Range of prognostic and predictive markers and their impact in specific clinical situations • Evolution of treatment principles in aggressive lymphoma • Development of promising new agents targeting disease biology. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) Workshop on Advances in Multiscale Cancer Detection: From Micro to Macro is organized by International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) and will be held from Oct 07 - 10, 2018 at Crowne Plaza Dublin - Blanchardstown, Dublin, Leinster, Ireland. The target audience for this medical event is for basic scientists, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies using MRI/MRS in cancer; clinicians (oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, surgeons); and students, trainees, and postdoctoral fellows with an interest in cancer MRI/MRS. Course Description: This conference will cover the latest advances in MRI/MRS of cancer from the microscopic to the macroscopic spatial scales. It will feature invited scientific presentations from leaders in the field, proffered papers, poster sessions, cutting-edge sessions on new topics (e.g. big data applications, academic-industry partnerships, and issues for young investigators), and the Bill Negendank Memorial Lecture on a special topic of relevance to the study group’s membership. Educational Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: • Explain concepts on imaging cancer from microscopic to macroscopic spatial scales; • Demonstrate characterization of the tumor microenvironment with MRI/MRS and complementary modalities; • Name the state of the art in clinical cancer biomarker development and early cancer detection; • List novel imaging methods and contrast mechanisms for investigating cancer; • Identify the latest nanoparticles and probes for cancer MRI; • Describe ‘Cancer Systems Biology’ approaches; • Recognize the role and challenges of using ‘Big Data’ and AI in cancer diagnosis and research; • Define the role of molecular imaging in cancer research; • Define the role of complementary modalities such as PET imaging in cancer diagnosis; • Define the roles of industry-academic partnerships; and • Recognize the challenges facing today’s junior investigators and develop means to navigate them.

What makes this Congress different? CO-LOCATION WITH BIOANALYTICAL and FORMULATION SUMMIT Immerse yourself in analytical method development for higher order structures, CQA's, post transitional modifications, aggregation, formulation and stability testing Innovative Solutions. Bioproduction helps you overcome the major challenges faced in the manufacturing of biological therapies: primarily monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Also this year get to grips with the production of novel non monoclonal antibody products, e.g. biosimilars, bispecific, antibody drug conjugates and fragments and gain an understanding of how microbial expression systems can help drive these products to market. Find out more about the event highlights here. Commercial Manufacturing Approach. BioProduction looks at all aspects of large scale, commercial/ GMP manufacturing including the latest technologies, facility design, single use systems, continuous manufacturing and strategies for reducing inefficiencies during the bio manufacturing process, rather than just looking at ways to optimise the process.
