Digital patient seminar - Ulm University Hospital and NetLip

27 Mar, 2024

On the occasion of this year's World Lipodystrophy Day, the Lipodystrophy Center at Ulm University Hospital, in cooperation with Leipzig University Hospital and the German patient network "NetLip," is hosting a digital patient seminar on Tuesday, April 9th. This online seminar is for patients, family members, healthcare professionals or anyone interested – everyone is welcome to participate. Attendance is free of charge, and no registration is required.

The patient seminar is designed to provide a platform for information and experience exchange. The event will also offer interesting insights into the biology of lipodystrophy and leptin, a hormone produced by adipose tissue. Additionally, the seminar will address the importance of data collection in rare diseases and the role of nutrition and genetics in lipodystrophy. At the end of the online seminar, there will be time for questions that the participating experts will be happy to answer.

The patient network "NetLip" will also introduce itself during the event. After the seminar, there will be an opportunity to participate in a video chat with other affected individuals to get to know each other!

For more information, see the BROCHURE of the event.

Dear Friends,

We are pleased to announce the 4th International Meeting on Laminopathies, taking place in Madrid, Spain on May 9-12, 2023. The meeting will be open to researchers, physicians and patients from around the world with the main goal of synergistically exchange knowledge and ideas to better understand laminopathies and help develop new therapies. As in previous editions celebrated in Marseille, Bologna, and London, the meeting will include sessions focused on molecular mechanisms, clinical aspects, disease-modeling, as well as therapeutic strategies.

Although we have a preliminary agenda with exciting speakers, we are expecting more contributions from research and clinical groups as well as patient associations. The meeting will be an extraordinary opportunity to share your work on laminopathies in front of the best possible audience.

Please visit the meeting's website (https://www.laminopathy2023.com/) or send us an email ([email protected]) for more information. You can also check for updates by following our Twitter account (https://twitter.com/IMLaminopathies).
