Promote Interdisciplinarity and Learn from Each Other
After the great success of the meeting last year we are delighted to announce the 2nd Common Ground Meeting on Chronic Inflammation at the Swiss Tech Convention Center on January 28, 2021. This meeting aims at empowering rheumatologists, dermatologists, gastroenterologists, immunologists, nephrologist and pneumologists, internists, and other healthcare professionals to interact and learn from each other in order to advance the care of patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, spondylarthritis, hepatitis, interstitial lung disorders, glomerulomephritis, ect.
- Discuss and identify common clinical problems and solutions as well as upcoming treatments
- Share knowledge and experience and foster interdisciplinarity
- Describe the relationship between the pathophysiology of immune-mediated chronic inflammatory diseases
- Understand future opportunities and challenges of precision medicine for immune mediated inflammatory diseases across disciplines
We are putting together an exciting program with lectures from leading experts, plenary sessions and enough time for networking and discussions.
We would be very delighted to seeing you at the face-to-face meeting in Lausanne. Nevertheless, if this might not be possible for you an online transmission will be provided to join the meeting.
