Diagnostic of sporadic and hereditary myeloproliferative diseases
Aims
The aims of MPN&MPNr-EuroNet’s eleventh meeting to be held in Poznan, Poland, on April 27-29, 2016 are:
- to share information on the newest developments in MPNs and related congenital diseases, hereditary erythrocytosis and hereditary thrombocytosis;
- to exchange and diffuse the latest information and guidelines on the molecular assays developed for diagnosis or research in laboratories working on MPNs and related diseases across Europe;
- to provide guidelines for the molecular diagnosis of MPN, hereditary erythrocytosis and hereditary thrombocytosis;
- to discuss and plan for the various tasks and objectives of the three MPN&MPNr-EuroNet working groups (WG);
- to help and encourage young scientists interested in MPNs.
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. 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 eleventh 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 and hereditary thrombocytosis. 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.

Abstract Submission
Participants are encouraged to submit an abstract in relation to the diagnosis of MPNs, new mutations in MPNs, the histopathology of MPNs, the pathogenesis of MPNs, inflammation in MPNs, congenital erythrocytosis, hereditary thrombocytosis, and the JAK/STAT and other signalling pathways of interest in MPNs. Early stage researchers and junior biologists and clinicians are especially encouraged to submit abstracts.
Abstracts should be composed as follows:
- Title
- Names of co-authors
- Institutions and addresses
- E-mail address of corresponding author

All abstracts will be put together in an Abstract Book that will be distributed to participants during the meeting.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is March 14th, 2016.
In order to submit an abstract, participants should first be registered, then, being logged in, choose Abstract in the menu bar on Registration page.

Poznań - Touristic information
Poznań is perceived as the historical capital of Greater Poland — a region in central-western Poland. In terms of population, it’s the fifth largest Polish city.It carries many ages of tradition, reaching all the way back to the 10th century, and the beginnings of the Polish nation. For this reason in 2008 Poznań was declared a historical monument. Poznań’s cathedral contains tombs of the first rulers: Mieszko I, and Boleslaus the Brave. Cities old town is filled with monuments of various eras. The city hall at the Old Market Square is an ideal example of Renaissance architecture. It features the town’s famous billy-goats. Fara church and the former Jesuit college represent Baroque. Poznań also features Poland’s oldest cathedral. Other parts of the city feature Secession monuments, and the monumental style of the Caesar’s District. The promenade leading to the Old City features Old Brewery — an exceptional Centre of Trade, Art, and Business, which received the ISCS award of “the best shopping centre worldwide” in 2008. Poznań Citadel is the set of fortifications (18 forts) developed in between 19th-20th century and is Europe’s third largest system of this type.
