Upcoming Medical Conferences in Rotterdam

Immuno-Oncology Europe 2019 is organized by Select Biosciences Limited and will be held from Oct 28 - 29, 2019 at Rotterdam Marriott Hotel, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands Description: Immuno-Oncology represents a portfolio of approaches aimed at deploying the immune system against tumor targets in vivo. There is a growing body of scientific and clinical evidence that these approaches are yielding clinically-actionable strategies for cancer treatment. The SelectBIO Immuno-Oncology Europe 2019 Conference brings together the key opinion leaders in the immunotherapy and tumor immunology fields to address the most up-to-date strategies for immune therapy and means by which immunotherapies may be rationally-combined with more traditional anti-cancer therapeutics. This field is converging with biofluid biopsies/liquid biopsies and therefore this conference brings together these two disciplines as they are co-evolving. This conference also addresses biomarkers and companion diagnostics (CDx) which can be utilized to "target patient populations" suitable for immunotherapies. Topics: • Biomarkers & Companion Diagnostics for Immunotherapy • Checkpoint and Non-Checkpoint Immunotherapies • Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cells in Cancer Immunotherapy • Combination Cancer Immunotherapy • Costimulatory Molecules for Immunological Activation & Therapeutic Intervention • Immunomodulatory Antibodies • Preclinical Animal Models for Immuno-Oncology • Small Molecules in Cancer Immune Therapy • Targeting Signaling Pathways in Cancer as Therapeutic Intervention • Targeting the Tumor Microenvironment Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Circulating Biomarkers, Exosomes & Liquid Biopsy Europe 2019 is organized by Select Biosciences Limited and will be held from Oct 30 - Nov 01, 2019 at Rotterdam Marriott Hotel, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands. Description: This annual conference now in its Fifth Year brings together academics and industry participants from around the world focused on research, biomarker analyses and therapeutics development leveraging the cargo from Exosomes and Extracellular Vesicles (EVs). An important component of this conference is to focus upon the development of liquid biopsies utilizing circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and other biomarkers found in biofluids. Topics: • Circulating Cell-Free DNA (cfDNA) for Liquid Biopsy Development ○ Companies Showcase ○ Technologies for Mutation Detection and Analysis • Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) for Liquid Biopsy Development ○ Companies Showcase ○ Emerging Technology Trends • Exosomes and Extracellular Vesicles (EV) Biomarker Potential ○ Proteins, DNA and Lipids ○ RNA Cargo • Exosomes and Extracellular Vesicles (EV) Research Trends • Exosomes and Extracellular Vesicles (EV) Studies in Various Diseases ○ Cancer ○ Cardiovascular Disease ○ CNS Disease • Isolation and Characterization of Exosomes and EV Classes • Modification and Engineering of Exosomes and EVs • Therapeutics Opportunities: Targeting using Exosomes/EVs Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Exosomes-EV-based Therapeutics Summit is organized by Select Biosciences Limited and will be held on Nov 01, 2019 at Rotterdam Marriott Hotel, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands. Description: SelectBIO Exosomes-Extracellular Vesicles (EVs)-based Therapeutics Summit 2019 focuses on the emerging field of deploying Exosomes as diagnostics and the engineering of exosomes and extracellular vesicles as a delivery tool for therapeutics moieties. The ability to engineer EVs and the ability of EVs to target specific sites offers the ability to tailor therapeutics with exquisite targeting ability and opens up a whole new class of therapeutics which are classified as biologicals and which do not have the side effects and toxicity associated with small molecule-based therapies. This summit explores this topic and takes a deep dive into the technology platforms, diseases targeted and clinical results-to-date. Topics: • EV-based Clinical Trials in Various Disease Classes • EV-based Drug Delivery • EV-based Therapeutics Development • EV-Engineering and Modifications for Drug Delivery and Therapeutics • EVs-derived from Stem Cells with Regenerative Potential • Exosomes-EVs in Various Disease Classes: Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, CNS Disease Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

38th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID) is organized by European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID), Kenes Group and will be held from May 25 - 30, 2020 at De Doelen, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands. Description: ESPID forms the basis for investigators interested in infectious diseases in children and infection prevention in childhood. As organizing committee we strongly feel that to further advance in our field it is pivotal to connect to adjacent disciplines. Therefore our main intent is to bring together the most prominent researchers in and relevant to the field of paediatric infectious diseases and immunology. The meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge and generate new ideas in a relaxed, smart albeit casual atmosphere. Bring your research results, cases and ideas to Rotterdam, and join us to interact with fellow PID friends and colleagues from around the world. They will balance the outstanding scientific programme of research and education with fruitful networking activities. Important deadlines for your calendar: • Early registration: 25 March 2020 • Abstract submission: 27 January 2020 • Travel Awards application deadline: 28 January 2020 • Walter Marget Workshop application: 6 November 2019 • Research Master Class application: 20 November 2019 Price: Early Bird Rate -Members (to be confirmed): EUR 240.0 Time: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
