Aims
The aims of MPN&MPNr-EuroNet’s Sixteen meeting to be held in Belgrade, Serbia, on May 05-06 2023 are:
to share information on the newest developments in MPNs and related congenital diseases,
to exchange and diffuse the latest information and recommendations on the molecular assays developed for diagnosis or research in laboratories working on MPNs and related diseases across Europe. NGS and novel technologies will be special focuses of this meeting;
to provide recommendations for therapy of MPN;
to discuss and plan for the various tasks and objectives of the three MPN&MPNr-EuroNet working groups (WG);
to help and mentor young scientists interested in MPNs and related congenital
diseases.
To do so, abstracts will be selected for short talks in the different sessions. Posters will
be presented during the whole length of the meeting.
Plenary sessions will cover the newest knowledge in MPNs, hereditary erythrocytosis and thrombocytosis. Each WG will convene under the direction of the WG chairs. New participants are encouraged to become actively involved in specific WG tasks.
Objectives
Participants to the fifteenth MPN&MPNr-EuroNet meeting will have the opportunity to hear from international experts about the newest developments in the molecular diagnosis of MPNs and related congenital/hereditary diseases. They will have the opportunity to present their own work and original diagnostic assays, and exchange with colleagues and experts on the newest genes and techniques of interest in the field of MPNs, congenital erythrocytosis . By joining one or more of MPN&MPNr-EuroNet working groups, they will be able to contribute actively, productively and durably in innovation, optimization and standardization of the biological diagnosis of MPNs and related congenital diseases in Europe.
Keywords
