"Ψυγείο για ανθρώπους" προστατεύει τους Ιάπωνες εργαζομένους από τον καύσωνα

The 37th Brazilian Congress of Endocrinology and Metabolism will take place from 26-29 August 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.The event brings together specialists to present advances, treatments, and trends in the field, promoting professional development and the exchange of experiences.

The demand for high-quality recombinant proteins and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) continues to grow, yet the development pipeline remains challenged by long timelines, high failure rates, and escalating costs. Creative BioMart's AI-driven CDMO platform addresses these bottlenecks head-on by seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence with experimental biology.We are pleased to invite Dr. Xiaoyu Zhu, Senior Business Development Manager at Creative BioMart, to present an in-depth look at our AI-powered CDMO solutions for advanced protein expression and antibody drug development.In this webinar, Dr. Zhu will introduce Creative BioMart's integrated AI platform, which enables accurate 3D structure prediction, affinity maturation, immunogenicity risk assessment, and de novo antibody design — significantly reducing development time and cost. The session will cover our GMP-compliant facilities, scalable mammalian and microbial expression systems, and comprehensive quality control processes. Attendees will learn how our AI-first, dry-wet closed-loop approach achieves high success rates in antibody engineering and membrane protein production, supporting next-generation biotherapeutics.Key topics to be discussed during the session:AI-powered 3D structure prediction and affinity maturation for antibody optimizationDe novo antibody design and immunogenicity risk assessment using proprietary AI modelsScalable mammalian and microbial expression systems for membrane proteins and recombinant antibodiesGMP-compliant manufacturing and quality control: LC-MS, iCIEF, CE-SDS, qPCRJoin us to explore how Creative BioMart's AI-first CDMO platform can accelerate your biologic development programs — from early-stage protein engineering through to GMP-grade manufacturing.

WELCOMEFrom Negative Mirroring to Tradition, Creativity, and Innovation: Group as PharmakósIn ancient Greek mythology, Pharmakós suggests both remedy and poison. Pharmakós is both the instrument of change, the remedy, and at the same time the entity destroyed or poisoned by that change. Pharmakós has the power to transform. Negative mirroring is a characteristic of Pharmakós and could be seen as one of the sources of difficulties the world is embroiled in. In this sense, Pharmakós reflects the current social crisis. How can the symbolic meaning of Pharmakós be elevated into a creative spark, from a negative mirror into a messenger of positive change?Pharmakós stands at the boundary between margin and centre, between exclusion and integration. Group participation can be both harmful and beneficial. Relationships can nourish and/or injure. Words can constrain and/or enhance understanding. Binary distinctions between, among other polarities, good and evil, positive and negative, constructive and destructive, collapse under the paradox-embracing grasp of Pharmakós.Delegates are invited to explore the idea that the group can shift from being a passive observer to becoming an active site of tradition, creativity, and innovation. The same forces that isolate or stigmatize the group can become the very ground for transformation and renewal, personally, socially, and culturally.The Symposium offers us an opportunity to consider the contradictions, paradoxes and inherent duality in many aspects of our lives in general, and of our Group Analytic endeavors in particular. How can these dualities be negotiated? In this symposium, we are invited to transcend linear thinking and explore the idea that the group is often simultaneously the site of psychic injury and the space of potential healing.Symposium Scientific committee

An event to regroup, inspire, strengthen and energise women in cardiologyThe RISE conference is a dynamic day of leadership development, community building, and career advancement, connecting women in cardiology with one another and the organisations that can support them.RISE was created to offer women across medical specialties the opportunity to build the non-clinical skills that are essential for career growth.The RISE @ ESC Congress 2026 programme will focus on the theme 'Growing and Thriving as a Leader in Cardiology'.  Sessions will feature expert global faculty who will share insights widely applicable across diverse practice settings and career stages.  The goal is for each participant to learn new strategies for success, take advantage of exceptional opportunities for connection and mentorship, and chart a personal path toward leadership in cardiology.The day will end with a reception for all faculty and attendees to further build on the connections made throughout the day and put into immediate practice what you have learned during the conference.RISE @ ESC Congress 2026 will take place on Thursday, 27 August from 08:30 to 18:30 at the Messe Munich (ICM - International Congress Center Messe München).
