The Association of Physicians of Great Britain and Ireland (AoP) actively organise and promote a number of different events and webinars throughout the year for both members and non members who are interested in translational medicine.
AoP regularly holds an annual meeting APAM, this year the AoP annual meeting is being held in Liverpool, 20th and 21st April 2023. We look forward to seeing you there.
We all regularly attend meetings in our specialty area, but the solution to many of today’s research challenges lies in ideas from outside of our specialty and from across disciplines. To meet leaders and talented young researchers in other fields, to hatch novel ideas and find inspiring new collaborators that you will not encounter at any other meeting – join us.
The 2023 Programme will feature Five symposia focusing on key interdisciplinary translational themes:
We are still living through a once-in-a-century pandemic which has had enormous medical, social and economic consequences. We need to prepare for future pandemics, and have already been confronted by monkeypox, hepatitis in children and vaccine-derived polio. This is on top of continuing waves of SARS-CoV-2 infections. The symposium invites abstracts on any of these issues, with plenary sessions in pandemic preparedness and monkeypox.
Genomics is having a major impact on all areas of medicine, and there is a gradual transition to the mainstreaming of genomics into clinical medicine. The symposium invites abstracts on any areas of genomics, with plenary sessions in the role of genomics in drug discovery and in cancer.
Data is hugely important for both healthcare delivery and for research. This symposium will explore how the NHS is using data, and the use of data in research, and technology companies are using data for healthcare purposes. We welcome abstracts on any aspect of data science.
Therapeutic options to treat many neurological diseases have been lacking, but recent advances in novel therapies offer some promise for the future. This symposium will explore the development of novel therapies in Motor Neurone Disease and in Parkinson’s Disease. We welcome abstracts on new treatment advances in neurological disease.
The Association warmly welcomes a wide range of themes under its ‘open theme’ category.
