Event Series "Inflammation Medicine"

Interdisciplinary research approaches in the field of inflammatory medicine at the Fraunhofer ITMP

Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis or chronic inflammatory bowel disease, often affect several organ systems simultaneously and therefore often require interdisciplinary treatment.

Patients from the greater Frankfurt am Main area benefit from the interdisciplinary consultation hours of the 4D Inflammation Clinic at Frankfurt University Hospital, in which experts from rheumatology, dermatology and gastroenterology jointly discuss cases of the disease. In cooperation with Frankfurt University Hospital, Fraunhofer ITMP is currently working on an improved treatment option for those affected.

The close interlinking of care and research aims to decipher the common causes of these diseases and to be able to recommend tailored therapies to patients in future. In order to achieve this goal, doctors and scientists from different disciplines are working together to combine their scientific findings.

Events

The interdisciplinary perspective at Fraunhofer ITMP is also reflected in numerous internal and public event formats. Together with various project partners and networks (Fraunhofer CIMD, TheraNova) and supported by the research-based pharmaceutical company Johnson&Johnson (formals Janssen), we are planning both, small focused meetings and large information and discussion events that address the expertise of various target groups (patients, medical specialists, clinician scientists, data scientists, young scientists, etc.).

Here you can get an overview of our event portfolio.

You will find current events assigned to the various modules of the event series. Dates, times and content are updated on an ongoing basis.
