10th International Congress, Psoriasis from Gene to Clinic
10th International Congress, Psoriasis from Gene to Clinic is organized by British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) and will be held from Dec 05 - 07, 2024 at Queen Elizabeth II Centre, London, England, United Kingdom.
Description:
Considerable progress has been made over recent years in our understanding of psoriasis at both fundamental basic science and clinical levels. Identification of immunopathological mechanisms that lead to the expression of disease and elucidation of cellular processes which control proliferation and differentiation are integral to the development of new therapies and therapeutic approaches specifically designed for psoriasis. Furthermore, significant progress has been made in understanding the genetic architecture of psoriasis which in turn highlights key biological pathways, some shared with other auto-immune diseases. Emerging evidence suggests that psoriasis is associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease and other comorbidities. The true relationships between these conditions and the determination of mechanisms will be important in the long-term management of psoriasis.
Building on the success of our previous International Congresses held every three years since 1996, Psoriasis: from Gene to Clinic is designed to provide a forum for experts from around the world to present and discuss cutting-edge issues. Delegates are anticipated to include clinicians, scientists and members of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
To reflect the areas of current scientific and clinical interests, the meeting will concentrate on specific plenary topics: genes and pathogenesis; inflammation and immunity, comorbidities and targeted therapeutics.
There will be plenty of opportunities for free communication on any aspect of psoriasis, either as oral or poster presentations. Time will be available for informal discussions. The high quality of the meeting is again reflected in our choice of venue. The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre is uniquely situated in the shadow of Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. The welcome reception will take place at the Conference Centre and the Congress Dinner will be held at the magnificent Science Museum, a unique, historic venue in the heart of London.
