Η "Νόσος Χ" του μέλλοντος: Υποψήφιοι ιοί για την επόμενη πανδημική απειλή

Advanced Vascular Ultrasound course objective: The objective of this course is to give the participants a technical and practical understanding of advanced vascular ultrasound, as well as introduce them to the science behind. Advanced vascular ultrasound examinations include below the knee arteries, carotid and vertebral arteries, arteries of the upper limb, haemodialysis vascular access, EVAR surveillance, mesenteric arteries and renal resistance index, 3D and contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and IVUS for vessel preparation and intraoperative control. Participants will have an opportunity to practice their skills under supervision during the course as > 50% of the course duration will be hands-on sessions on patients with relevant pathology.

ECD 2026, our 14th conference on common diseases, will showcase how advances in epigenomics are improving our understanding of disease mechanisms and supporting translation toward clinical and therapeutic applications. The meeting will bring together scientists and clinicians to discuss epigenetic regulation across the life course.The programme will span epigenetic regulation across development and aging, with a focus on mechanisms underlying common diseases, including cancer and those associated with aging, as well as cellular plasticity. Discussions will explore how genetic and environmental influences shape epigenetic variation, alongside emerging epigenomic technologies that are opening new avenues for discovery and translation.This friendly, interactive meeting encourages interdisciplinary exchange between basic, translational, and clinical researchers, supported by ample networking opportunities and inclusive meals. The programme will combine invited talks from international leaders with short oral presentations, posters, and poster pitch talks selected from abstracts.

DetailsJoin Illumina and a panel of pioneering early access users for an exclusive webinar exploring how Illumina StrataMap™ Spatial is being applied to generate deeper biological insights across diverse tissue types and research applications. Featuring presentations from Jonathan Coxhead, Adele Nicolas, and Emilia Lombardi, this webinar offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from researchers and technology leaders who have gained hands-on experience with the platform.Through real-world case studies, our speakers will share their experiences evaluating StrataMap Spatial, discuss experimental design considerations, and demonstrate how the technology is enabling comprehensive spatial transcriptomic analysis while leveraging existing sequencing infrastructure. Whether you are considering spatial transcriptomics for your research programme or looking to expand your existing spatial capabilities, this session will provide valuable perspectives from some of the earliest users shaping the future of spatial biology.AgendaIntroduction to Illumina StrataMap SpatialDarren Segale,Sr Director, Scientific Research-Advanced Platforms, Illumina Illumina StrataMap as a tool to explore congenital birth defectsJonathan Coxhead,Head of Genomics Core Facility, Newcastle UniversitySpatiotemporal Charting of IL-1α–Driven Lung Ecosystems Reveals Protective Programs and Translational VulnerabilitiesAdele Nicolas,Postdoctoral Fellow, Bock Lab, CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences From FCD to ganglioglioma: cell-resolved maps of epileptogenic tissueEmilia Lombardi,Head of Multi-Omics Analytics, Institut Imagine, Paris, France Q&AFollowing the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the speakers during an interactive live Q&A session.
