In 2017 we are combining the Cell Culture World Congress and the Downstream Processing World Congress, to bring you the Cell Culture and Downstream World Congress 2017, an all-encompassing event covering the whole manufacture and bioprocess life cycle.

We are also introducing our new Formulation, Fill and Finish stream, where we look to cover important issues such as formulating high concentration biologics, freeze-drying for stability and longevity, novel filling technologies and a lot more.

Across the event we will be showcasing exciting new technologies such as CRISPR gene editing, 3D printing of bioreactors and new methods of vaccine production.

Content will include cutting edge research and even more case studies, over 70 presentations from those working in manufacture, bioprocess and formulation, fill and finish in big pharma and interactive sessions with biotechs.

It is a great pleasure to announce the 5th World Congress of Dermoscopy, which will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece from 14 to 16 June 2018.

In close collaboration with the International Dermoscopy Society, we are putting our best efforts to ensure that the 5th World Congress of Dermoscopy will be a global scientific celebration, bringing together all passionate dermoscopists around the globe, from inspiring teachers and experienced clinicians to young researchers and residents.

This new conference aims to bring together scientists working in the fields of molecular immunology, functional genomics and immune-mediated disease genetics to expedite the journey from genetic association to mechanistic understanding and patient benefit through new insights into disease and novel therapeutics.

Next generation sequencing has accelerated the discovery of highly penetrant causal variants in diverse primary immune deficiencies, providing insight into the non-redundant functions of the affected genes and pathways in human immunity.

In parallel, the application of GWAS has been arguably most successful in immune-related traits, such that together we now have evidence of the role of genetic variation in susceptibility to various immune diseases across the prevalence spectrum.

To accelerate the translation of these discoveries into the clinic, we urgently need to improve our understanding of the molecular consequences of disease-associated variants, immunological processes and drug target discovery.

Women healthcare conference purpose is to provide current information of obstetrics and gynecology in order to treat and manage to promote women health.

Future Generation tiles a platform to globalize the research by installing a dialogue between industries and academic organizations and knowledge transfer from research to industry

This is an excellent opportunity for the delegates from universities and institutes to interact with the world class scientists.

The 2017 EUROSPINE annual meeting is the international spine forum which will cover diversified topics such as the European Spine Course Diploma (ESCD) education programme, applying for Task Force Research Grants and Fellowships to improve your clinical or research skills, or Spine Tango: a Europe-wide Spine Registry, and so much more.

These are exciting times for Neurology. New diseases are being defined, new procedures are developed and introduced in clinical practice resulting in more accurate diagnosis, complex disease mechanisms are more and more unravelled, and current treatment options are extending.

Parallel to all these developments also new challenges are encountered in the search for understanding, preserving and repairing the nervous system.

These and other topics will be addressed by leading international experts in the different neurological fields. And all will take place in a magnificent town!

Picture of young african women'sA weakened immune system makes HIV-positive women particularly vulnerable to persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, which can lead to cervical cancer. With patchy screening, cervical cancer rates in Africa are especially high. Simple HPV screening could help save lives, an EU-funded project found.

Early detection can prevent heart failure and other complications, but screening is currently time consuming. EU-funded researchers are looking to change this with a cost-effective tool capable of detecting a patient’s risk of heart failure from their saliva.
