29. Ernst-Klenk-Symposium in Molecular Medicine
Systems Approaches in Translational Medicine

Gerne laden wir Sie recht herzlich zum kommenden 29. Ernst Klenk Symposium zu dem hochaktuellen biomedizinischen Thema „Systems Approaches in Translational Medicine” ein, das vom 29. Sept. - 01. Okt. 2013 im Hörsaalgebäude der Med. Fakultät, Joseph-Stelzmann-Str. 52, stattfinden wird.

Ziel des diesjährigen Klenk Symposiums ist es, Systemansätze zum Verständnis der Pathophysiologie von schwerwiegenden Erkrankungen wie beispielsweise Krebs, alters-assoziierten Krankheiten und metabolischen Störungen zu diskutieren und damit die Grundlage zur Erforschung neuer Therapieansätze zu schaffen. Wir freuen uns besonders, dass das wissenschaftliche Organisationsgremium des Klenk Symposiums 2013 Herrn Michael B. Yaffe (MIT und Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, Cambridge, USA) als wissenschaftlichen Koordinator und Ehrenvortragsredner für die Ernst Klenk Lecture, ein Highlight des Ernst Klenk Symposiums, gewinnen konnte. Herrn Prof. Yaffe ist es gelungen ein spannendes Vortragsprogramm mit hochkarätigen internationalen Spitzenforschern zusammenzustellen, das sicherlich begeistern wird.

Dear Students
Dear Colleagues
Dear Friends
It gives us great pleasure to invite you and interested members of your
institution to the 29. Ernst Klenk Symposium in Molecular Medicine 2013 on
"Systems Approaches in Translational Medicine". This three-day event from
Sept. 29 through Oct. 01, 2013 takes place in the Main Lecture Hall of the
Medical Faculty, University of Cologne, Germany and is organized by the
Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne (CMMC) in collaboration with the MPI
for Biology of Ageing and CECAD Cologne.

We are very pleased to announce that Prof. Michael B. Yaffe - Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) and Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer
Research, Cambridge (USA) was substantially involved in the scientific
coordination of the program.

We are proud to present a program that covers a wide range of important
aspects of systems approaches in translational medicine.The focus areas of
the Klenk Symposium 2013 include:

* Session I Genomes and gene networks in human disease
* Session II Ageing and age-related disease
* Session III Systems approaches in translational oncology
* Session IV Systems biology and beyond

Ernst Klenk Lecture

As one major highlight of the meeting Michael B. Yaffe will present as
honorary guest speaker the traditional Ernst Klenk Lecture 2013 on Monday,
Sept. 30, 2013 at 6 p.m.

Poster Presentation - Call for submission of poster abstracts

We are pleased to invite all participants to submit abstracts for the poster
