Viruses in May (17-19 May 2018)
This year's conference will be
held at the Carrington Hotel in Katoomba. Viruses in May is a clinical course
aimed at senior and less experienced scientists, pathologists, registrars,
infectious diseases clinicians, and clinicians from other disciplines interested
in viral diseases. The themes for this year include rapid point of care testing,
parechovirus and other emerging viral threats, vaccination for prevention of
viral illness, and viral infections of Aboriginal Australians. Insights from
practitioners who are experts in the areas they talk on, and in many cases, who
are internationally recognized in their area will be invited. It is being able
to talk “up close and personal” about the areas that is of importance, and that
is one of the many things that makes VIM special. Organisers are looking forward
to outstanding plenary talks, vigorous and informed discussion, as well as
having attendees at the meeting.

held at ICC Sydney in Sydney NSW. The theme for the joint conference is “Diagnosis to Cure” and there are three days
allocated to explore related topics. The first is metabolism day which will look
at inborn metabolic syndromes and the gene and enzyme therapies that are being
used to treat these.
This year will include presentation of the David Rothfield Memorial Oration.
This is an honorary lectureship jointly sponsored by the RCPA, AACB, RCPAQAP and
NATA and alternates each year between the RCPA Pathology Update and the AACB
Annual Scientific Meeting. Professor Andy Hoofnagle from Washington University
will be presenting the oration in 2018 with a talk on proteonomics. Carolyn Sue,
Kevin Carpenter, Michael Tchan, Ian Cateson and Tina Yen will also be giving
insights into some of these conditions.
The second day is all about cancer – molecular diagnosis and classification,
immunotherapies and drug treatments. One of the recent recipients of the Qld
Tall Poppy Science award, Dr Ken Dutton-Regester from QIMR will be talking about
melanoma genetics and biology. The David Curnow Lecture will also be on this
day.
Dr Roger Reddel will conclude the second day introducing delegates to Procan,
a new database that Australian researchers are setting up that will feed the
information gathered through analysing the proteins of 70,000 cancer samples.
This will be made available worldwide and become the reference for recommending
the best-known treatments for patients.
The last day will be about chronic diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease,
auto-immune conditions and bleeding disorders. These diseases are a huge burden
on the health system and speakers will cover topics such as monitoring response
to treatments in chronic leukaemias, organ transplant surgery and biomedical
ethics.
Other highlights of the meeting include the Industry Exhibition, submitted
oral papers and posters, networking functions, industry symposia, meet the
