Upcoming Medical Conferences in Rotterdam

3D-Culture, Organoids & Tox Screening Europe 2019 is organized by SelectBio and will be held from Jun 13 - 14, 2019 at Rotterdam Marriott Hotel, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands. Course Description: SELECTBIO 3D-Culture, Organoids & Tox Screening Europe 2019 brings together researchers from around the world focusing on the emerging technologies and applications of 3D-culture and organoids, especially as they are impacting drug discovery, toxicity screening and drug development processes. Hear from and network with researchers who are currently screening for efficacy and toxicity using iPS cell lines (and cells derived thereof), and those responsible for developing the techniques and technologies in the organoids field. There will also be discussions on industry and regulatory developments that are shaping the future of 3D-culture and technologies for studying organoids in cancer research and beyond. Topics to be covered include 3D-cell based screening methods, high content screening and data management, the use of model organisms and novel approaches for phenotypic screening. Key Opinion Leaders from around the World are Participating at this Conference allowing Maximal Information Exchange and Unparalleled Networking Opportunities. Conference Topics: • 3D-Cell Culture Based Models • High-Content Screening and Imaging Technologies • iPSC-derived Cells for Toxicity Testing and Pharmaceutical Screening • Organoids • Phenotypic and High Content Screening of 3D-Model Systems • Phenotypic Drug Discovery • Screening Technologies, Instrumentation and Reagents • Stem Cells in Drug Discovery and Toxicity Screening • Technologies in 3D-Cell Culture Short Courses: Designing and Validating Assays Applied to 3D-Organoids held in conjunction with 3D-Culture, Organoids & Tox Screening Europe 2019 on 13 Jun 2019 at Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Organ-on-a-Chip & Tissue-on-a-Chip Europe 2019 is organized by SelectBio and will be held from Jun 18 - 19, 2019 at The goals, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands. Course Description: It focuses on an important and expanding field wherein cells are being assembled using Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip technologies in a functionally-relevant manner. These clusters of "assembled cells" have functional significance and can mimic in vivo organ structure. Liver cells assembled on-board chips in a physiologically-relevant architecture using microfluidics can, for instance, be utilized for toxicity screening and the ability to assemble organ fragments ex vivo can provide an exquisite means to reconstruct biological processes (both physiological and pathological) "in a dish" or "on a chip." A number of chips such Lung-on-a-Chip, Brain-on-a-Chip, Gut-on-a-Chip, Marrow-on-a-Chip, Bone-on-a-Chip, Nerve-on-a-Chip amongst others have been built and will be presented and explored at this conference. We will also focus on "disease-on-a-chip", cancer-on-a-chip, immune system-on-a-chip. Due to the Overlap of this Topic with Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip technologies, the co-located concurrent parallel conference track focus on these topics thereby offering complete coverage of these related fields to the conference delegates. The Conference Tracks are Co-Located and Concurrent and Delegates can Participate, Mix-and-Match Presentations and Network Extensively with their Colleagues from all Conference Tracks: • Lab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics Europe 2019 • Organ-on-a-Chip and Tissue-on-a-Chip Europe 2019 • Point-of-Care, Wearables & Mobile Diagnostics Europe 2019 Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Lab-on-a-Chip & Microfluidics Europe 2019 is organized by SelectBio and will be held from Jun 18 - 19, 2019 at The goals, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands. Course Description: SELECTBIO Lab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics Europe 2019 now in its 11th year brings together researchers and industry participants from both academia and industry focusing on technology and innovation in the Lab-on-a-Chip (LOAC) and Microfluidics fields. Presentations will explore the latest advances in the Lab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics Fields. Focus at this conference will also be given to some of the many applications of Lab-on-a-Chip, from life science research, to taking diagnostics to the point-of-care/point-of-need and body-on-a-chip/organs-on-a-chip. We focus on LOAC device production technologies, novel designs/technologies for manufacture, as well as the key application areas for LOAC from research to diagnostics. There is an Extensive International Perspective at this Conference with Speakers, Poster Presenters, Sponsors, and Exhibitors from Europe, US, and Asia/Pacific. Running alongside the conference will be an exhibition covering the latest technological advances and associated products and services from leading solution providers within this field from around the world. Registered delegates will have full access to the co-located and concurrent conference tracks to mix-and-match presentations and maximize networking: • Lab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics Europe 2019 • Organ-on-a-Chip and Tissue-on-a-Chip Europe 2019 • Point-of-Care, Wearables & Mobile Diagnostics 2019 Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

21st International Congress of the ISPS is organized by International Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis (ISPS) and will be held during Aug 28 - Sep 01, 2019 at Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands. Course Description : In this conference epidemiologic researchers, cultural scientists, clinicians and people with psychotic experiences and their families will discuss to answer this question and what to do about it. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

SSIEM 2019 Symposium is organized by Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SSIEM) and will be held from Sep 03 - 06, 2019 at De Doelen, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands. Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, I have great pleasure in announcing that the SSIEM 2019 Symposium will be held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, from September 3 to September 6. We are truly excited to be welcoming you to Rotterdam. Voted number 5 in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel in 2016, Rotterdam is a dynamic city known for its maritime history, multiethnic community, futuristic architecture and spirit of innovation. As we know from life in a city that’s continuously and rapidly renewing itself, innovation is indeed embedded in our culture. Just take our architecture: every year, new buildings and structures are added to our landscape, some of the finest being the bridges connecting different parts of the city. You might say it’s in Rotterdam’s genes to build bridges and seek connections. With the biggest port in Europe, we seek connection with the rest of the world. Within the city itself, we connect at various levels, including business, culture, and science. That’s why our Congress theme is Building Bridges. During SSIEM 2019, we hope to connect new-generation scientists with those who are well established. We hope to build bridges between laboratory and clinic, and to connect up the knowledge which has been generated on a range of diseases. All with the common goal of achieving a better future for our patients. The congress will be held in De Doelen, a city-center, state-of-the-art venue for conferences and concerts. It’s just a short walk from good hotels and Rotterdam Central Station, which is reached by direct bus from Rotterdam The Hague Airport and is only 20 minutes by train from Schiphol Airport Amsterdam. We look forward to welcoming you in Rotterdam next year, the city that never sleeps and where innovation never stops. Kind regards, Ans van der Ploeg Symposium President
