Since 2017, the field of laboratory medicine has been represented by a scientific event of high-calibre experts at internationally leading trade fair MEDICA in Düsseldorf. The event takes place in the trade fair area featuring laboratory equipment and diagnostics, where several hundred exhibitors participate each year. In spite of, or maybe especially because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the MEDICA LABMED FORUM has been enjoying growing recognition within both academia and the industry. During MEDICA 2022 (14 – 17 November), the newest scientific findings from across the broad spectrum of diagnostic medicine will be presented again in Hall 1. As part of the programme by the specialist forum for laboratory medicine, renowned experts will be holding highly up-to-date lectures here on stage.

After having taken place on a completely digital platform due to the pandemic in 2020, the MEDICA LABMED FORUM returned last year as an in-person meeting-point for international guests. The two scientific organisers, Prof. Dr. med.  Georg Hoffmann and Prof. Dr med. Stefan Holdenrieder, both laboratory doctors at the institute for laboratory medicine at the German Heart Centre  of the Technical University of Munich, have put together a total of eight sessions for this year and created an inviting, multi-faceted programme about notable trends within in-vitro diagnostics (IVD).

The motto of the opening day will be “Regulations and quality “. The second day of the event is dedicated to short lectures and interactive stage discussions about the newest trends in laboratory medicine. On 16 November, recently discovered biomarkers take central stage. The closing day on 17 November will showcase innovative developments within the life sciences.
