Meet the Fraunhofer ITEM

This year’s BIO-Europe will take place from November 5th to November 7th in Copenhagen. BIO-Europe is the largest partnering-conference. The Fraunhofer Group for Life Sciences, Fraunhofer IME-TMP, Fraunhofer ITEM, and Fraunhofer IZI-BB will present their R+D services along the complete pharmaceutical development value chain: from »target screening« to »clinical phase I/II studies«.

Together with the Fraunhofer Institutes IPA and IIS, the Fraunhofer ITEM Division of Personalized Tumor Therapy will present a system for automated tumor diagnosis at the MEDICA trade fair in Düsseldorf (Germany) from November 12 to 15.

Our Translational Biomedical Engineering team will present interesting exhibits at COMPAMED in Düsseldorf, Germany, from November 12 to 15. COMPAMED is the trade fair for suppliers and manufacturers of medical technologies.

Fraunhofer scientists Ariane Zwintscher and Franziska Schramm will represent Fraunhofer ITEM at the 4th Conference of Applied Hygiene, Microbiology and Virology in Hamburg on November 23, 2018.

Prof. Christoph Klein, Fraunhofer ITEM Division Director of Personalized Tumor Therapy, will give insights into the detection, characterization and monitoring of early and advanced systemic cancer at this year’s FORUM Translational Medicine in Würzburg.

On January 24 and 25, 2019, the 18th Fraunhofer Seminar "Models of Lung Disease" will take place at the CRC Hannover. Online registration is open and a preliminary program is available.

This training course will introduce the participants to three different in-silico approaches for estimation of human health toxicological endpoints, namely QSAR models, read-across, and the TTC (threshold of toxicological concern) concept. The application of in-silico approaches in ecotoxicology will not be addressed in this course.
