Upcoming Medical Conferences in Sweden

2nd Epidemiology Group Conference is organized by International Society for Influenza and other Respiratory Virus Diseases (ISIRV) and will be held from Jan 16 - 18, 2019 at European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), Solna, Stockholm, Sweden. This is an interdisciplinary meeting bringing together epidemiologists, clinical researchers, as well as experts in public health, risk analysis, big data and global health. The focus will be on severe disease presentations with influenza and other respiratory viral infections. The programme will address 6 key topics: • Linking clinical research and surveillance • What happens outside the hospital? • Learning from individual clinical and patient-reported outcomes • Predicting outcomes on the individual and population level •  Advancing public health surveillance of severity • Epidemiological methods and challenges in high and low resource settings Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

4th Nordic Dermoscopy Course is organized by Conference Organisation, Association Development & Project Management (CAP) Partner and will be held from Mar 28 - 29, 2019 at Radisson Blu, Gothenburg, Vastergotland, Sweden. Conference Description : The target audience for this medical event is directed towards residents and specialists in Dermatology who are members of any of the five national societies within the Nordic Dermatology Association (Danish Dermatological Society, Finnish Dermatological Society, Icelandic Dermatological Society, Norwegian Society of Dermatology and Venereology and Swedish Society of Dermatology and Venereology). The main goal of this course is to give participants a solid foundation in their daily work with dermoscopy in order to increase their confidence when assessing the most common benign and malignant, melanocytic and non‐melanocytic lesions. The course will combine lectures with interactive ”Test yourself” sessions. The basic theory on how to name and classify the myriad of patterns and local structures we observe in both pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions will be thoroughly covered accompanied by several typical examples of each diagnosis. In addition, images of atypical presentations will be included in the lectures to increase awareness regarding the morphologic variability observed in numerous lesion types. During the interactive sessions, the participants will be able to test their newfound knowledge. These sessions will also provide an opportunity to discuss differential diagnoses and management plans based on the dermoscopic findings. On the second day of the course, we will discuss the various vascular structures, which can be identified with dermoscopy and their importance. Participants will also be introduced to the specific criteria applied to pigmented lesions found on special body sites such as the face and acral skin. Finally, the course will also cover important management strategies based on dermoscopic images including short- and long-term monitoring as well as teledermoscopy. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Proteomics and its Application to Translational and Precision Medicine (D3) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and will be held from Apr 07 - 11, 2019 at Clarion Hotel Sign, Stockholm, Sweden. Course Description : Proteomics methods have advanced tremendously in just the last few years. Apart from increasingly powerful mass-spectrometric methods, global antibody based methods, chemical biology approaches and genetics/genomics approaches and their combinations are now offering a rich toolbox to study the proteome in many different dimensions. Given this background and the recent completion of in depth proteomes, clearly the time is right to apply proteomics in a more translational context to patient derived primary cells, organoids, xenograft models and indeed to the clinic. Such activities are well underway and we will focus on several distinct areas in this conference. MS based proteomics, in particular interaction proteomics in combination with chemical and structural proteomics, is making crucial contributions to drug development and deeper molecular understanding of disease mechanisms. The analysis of post-translational modifications has become orders of magnitude more comprehensive, quantitative and accessible, now enabling in-vivo and time-resolved studied of a large range of signaling processes. In combination with genome engineering, this opens up entirely new perspectives in precision investigation of deregulated signaling processes in models of oncology, immunology or metabolic diseases. Finally, proteomic profiling of body fluids has matured to a degree that it enables informative ‘phenotyping’ of humans in health and disease, supporting ‘wellness’ and patient stratification/biomarker studies.
