Program LURN 2012

Dear LURN members,

The annual LURN meeting will take place March 8-9th, 2012 at Ystad Saltsjöbad during two half days.

We are delighted to present this year’s Honorary Sandberg Lecturer, Professor James C. Hogg, iCAPTURE Center, St. Paul´s Hospital, Vancouver, Canada. Professor Hogg will be giving a presentation entitled “Novel aspects on morphology of the small airways”.

In addition, we will proudly announce this year’s recipient of the Sandberg National Award for Translational Lung Research, and a Young Investigator Award. 
 
A novel element will be a poster session, where PhD-students are invited to participate with a preexisting poster. The posters will be on display and a committee will be circulating and moderating the session, and nominate the recipient of the Young Investigator Award amongst the participants. 
 
The meeting will be addressing the following topics
  • The lungs from a child´s perspective
  • A systemic approach to lung diseases, what can be learnt from other organ systems?
  • Infection - the body strikes back?
  • Beyond tomorrow; stem cells, tissue engineering and nanotechnology
  • Mast cells- bad or good?
As usual, there will be plenty of time for discussions about presented data and future collaborations in between the sessions and during the Thursday evening dinner. 

We look forward to see you at the LURN Meeting!

Gunilla Westergren-Thorsson
