International Rare Disease Research Consortium Shenzhen Conference
Date: | 07-Nov-14 to 09-Nov-14 |
Location: | Futian Sheraton Hotel / Shenzhen / China |
Category: | Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals Conferences & Trade Fairs |
The second conference organized by IRDiRC in collaboration with the BGI is gathering stakeholders active in the field of rare disease from across the globe. It will be held on 7-9 November 2014, China
This conference aims to raise awareness of the topic of rare diseases around the world and to foster international collaborations involving Chinese researchers and clinicians. It will provide unmissable opportunity to network with different rare disease communities from Europe, North and South America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. We hope this will encourage and motivate investment of research and social resources in the field of rare diseases, to ultimately improve the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients and their families.
It will be held with two days of conference - where four exciting parallel tracks will take place in the topics of Diagnostics, Interdisciplinary-Technologies, Therapies, and Educational - and one day of valuable training course
