Meetings

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) hosted more than 8,000 physicians, technologists, pharmacists, laboratory professionals, scientists and others earlier this week at its 2024 Annual Meeting in Toronto, Ontario. Themed “Innovate. Illuminate.”, the meeting was dedicated to the rapidly changing science and practice of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging.

The historic Corinthia Palace in Malta is set to host the 7th World Conference on Targeting Phage Therapy on June 20-21, 2024. This premier event will bring together the world's foremost leaders and researchers in bacteriophage therapy, highlighting the growing importance and global interest in this innovative field.

On June 18 from 1-2pm, the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) is hosting a free webinar that we hope will be of interest to you and your constituents. “AI for Longevity Drug Discovery: Breakthroughs and Challenges” will feature founders of biotech companies discussing how AI is aiding the development of therapeutics to extend healthspan and longevity. Moderated by Kristen Fortney, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder, BioAge, the panel will include Mitchell Lee, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder, Ora Biomedical, Inc., Hanadie Yousef, PhD, CEO and Co-Founder, Juvena Therapeutics, Inc., and Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, CEO and Founder, Insilico Medicine.

 

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) convenes world-renown scientists dedicated to stem cell research and regenerative medicine each year at its annual meeting to share the year’s most compelling basic discoveries and clinical breakthroughs in the stem cell field. Abstract submission and registration for ISSCR 2025, taking place 11-14 June 2025, will open on 2 October 2024. Abstracts submitted by 21 January 2025 will be considered for oral presentations and merit and travels awards.

Pioneers in transformative research with clinical applications will discuss how space is advancing discoveries within the biomedical community at the 13^th annual International Space Station Research and Development Conference (ISSRDC). The session “Trailblazing New Frontiers in Science on the Space Station” will provide insights into recent breakthroughs in cancer, regenerative medicine, and in-space manufacturing that may profoundly impact health outcomes on Earth.

WISH (The World Innovation Summit for Health) has announced at the World Congress of Bioethics that it is developing a report on the ethical management of AI in healthcare.

The report will explore the ethical challenges of widely adopted practices of AI in healthcare, such as electronic medical records, imaging and diagnostics, and preventative and precision medicine, particularly as they relate to the question of medical accountability.

The mission of eLTER is to facilitate high impact research and catalyse new insights about the compounded impacts of climate change, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, pollution, and unsustainable resource use on a range of European ecosystems and socio-ecological systems, representing the “critical zone” in which we live.
