EADV Dermatological Meeting in Ticino - From the Bench to the Clinic

6th Meeting of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerelogy (EADV)

The meeting is organized by the Scientific Committee of the EADV in close collaboration with the Società Ticinese di Dermatologia, the Dermatology department from the Bellinzona regional hospital, and the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB, affiliated to USI), will provide updates on topics selected by dermatologists, allergists, immunologists, internists and oncologists.

The day will consist of a research session in the morning (Immune response and skin), followed in the afternoon by a clinic session (Update on the treatment of dermatological diseases). Roundtable speakers will see leading Swiss and Italian researchers, physicians and experts who will discuss the latest advances achieved in the field of dermatology and venereology.

After the success of the first five editions, EADV, which is the largest association of dermatology and venereology in Europe and organizes two annual events in European cities, has decided to renew its commitment to promote research, education and training, not only of dermatologists, but also all the other specialists of related fields of medicine, in the Canton Ticino.

EADV (European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology) is a non-profit organization founded in 1987 whose mission is to promote excellence in clinical care, research, education and training in the field of dermatology and venereology. The Academy also aims to educate patients and to be their spokesman, in particular of those suffering from skin and venereal diseases.

EADV annually organizes a major conference in Europe in fall and a symposium in spring. It also offers regular online training courses, specialization and refreshing courses for Continuing Medical Education (CME).

The future President of the EADV, Prof. Luca Borradori, Head of the Dermatology and Venereology Unit at the University of Bern, and who was elected at the last EADV congress in Amsterdam, will attend the meeting. Professor Borradori is available to the press for details on the meeting and the subjects discussed.
