International Clinical Symposium 2022: Precision Medicine in Chronic Inflammation

Therapeutic management of chronic inflammatory diseases is one of the main challenges in medicine. The interdisciplinary DFG-Cluster of Excellence “Precision Medicine in Chronic Inflammation” organizes this hybrid symposium (face-to-face and online) that will present the state-of-the-art knowledge for understanding the clinical implications arising from insight into the pathophysiology and use of innovative targeted therapies in inflammatory diseases of the gut, joints, lungs, and skin.

On Friday, we will offer interdisciplinary plenary joint talks and interactive discussion with eminent faculty and invited speakers in English language with German translation. On Saturday, we will dive deep into the different therapeutic areas and discuss the challenges in individual treatment and management of complex cases. This part will be translated simultaneously into English and German.

The top-level symposium is to be attended by key international authorities on inflammation medicine. The unique feature of the event is that it breaks the usual boundaries between disciplines in medicine. All four core disciplines of inflammation medicine will be represented – dermatology (skin), gastroenterology (stomach/intestine), rheumatology and pneumology (lungs). Solutions for better and long-term disease control are to be worked out in joint lectures on the first day and case-based discussion in each of the subjects on the second day.

The symposium will be looking at inflammatory diseases of the skin (psoriasis, neurodermatitis), the intestine (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis), the lungs (asthma, COPD) as well as various inflammatory rheumatic diseases. These affect around five percent of the population. The diseases differ considerably in severity and manifestation between individual patients, are extremely challenging in some cases and still incurable despite huge advances in treatment. Many questions arise as a result of this, regarding diagnosis, treatment planning and long-term health of patients, including: How can mild disease progression be distinguished from complicated disease progression at an early stage? Who responds to which treatment? When can immunomodulatory treatment be stopped? And how can complications and comorbidities be prevented? Speakers from Chicago, New York, Oxford, London and other places will be travelling to Kiel to discuss these and many other topics.

There will be numerous sponsored satellite symposia of our industry partners where single substance classes and focused therapeutic approaches will be discussed in detail.
