VI YOUNG RESEARCHERS’ MEETING The IMIBIC, through its Training and Postgraduate Course Committee is hosting the 6th Young Researchers’ Meeting, aimed at fostering the interaction and exchange of knowledge between the youngest researchers of the biomedical field in Cordoba. These conferences will proceed with the atmosphere of previous years, promoting translational research and raising awareness regarding health issues. We intend to encourage interdisciplinarity and quality training by sharing the results obtained by our youngest researchers. The conferences share these common objectives: Create an atmosphere to allow knowledge and experience exchange among young researchers regarding a health issue. Promote the interaction and reinforcement of bonds between the staff in the different research groups, favouring relationships after the meeting. Foster and support quality training for the youngest researchers. Proceed with this annual symposium that is a key reference for the whole research community and, above all, for the young researchers of the IMIBIC. Date and Place The conferences are to be held on May 4-5, at the assembly room of the IMIBIC. Addressees The conferences are aimed at the whole staff of the biomedical field of Córdoba, as well as students of the second cycle of related degrees, giving a special role to young researchers. Consequently, PhD students of two or more years, medical interns and Post-Doctoral professionals will give the presentations preferently. Following these objectives, we try to foster the interaction and knowledge exchange among the youngest researchers in the groups of the biomedical field in Córdoba. Thus, researchers who are responsible of each group are kindly asked to motivate their members to submit their contributions to the conferences. The Conferences The Committee will organise four sessions which will bring together the IMIBIC’s five scientific programmes. However, the Committee reserves the right to join different sessions depending on the number of presentations received. The scientific programmes are as follow: 1 - Active ageing and fragility. - Nutrition, endocrine and metabolic diseases. - Infectious and Immunological diseases. Organ transplantation. - Cancer (Oncology and Oncohematology) - Chronic and inflammatory diseases. Each session will include oral communications, each one of 12 minutes plus 3 minutes of questions, together with a short final debate in order to allow interaction between participants. In parallel, a posters showcase will take place, which will be also organised on the basis of the scientific programmes previously described. Additionally, a plenary presentation will be given by Dr. Rafael Duarte (46), who is currently responsible for the Division of Myeloid Leukaemia and Director of the Haematopoietic Cell Transplantation Programme at the Catalan Institute of Oncology. Dr Duarte has also worked in renowned centres, such as the Royal Free Hospital of London, the Anthony Nolan Research Institute or the Harvard Medical School. He is Chairman of the Complications and Quality of Life Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Dr Duarte is also part of the panel of several international scientific committees and has more than 80 international publications, with a high rate of first and last authorship (48%). Dr. Rafael Duarte is also the author of a patent of a genetically-modified cell line in coauthorship with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Boston, who is currently licensed by Bayer. This year, we will have a presentation about the scientific path for young researchers in biomedicine by Dr. Alvaro Roldan Lopez, from the Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII). Dr. Roldán will speak about the different opportunities offered by the ISCIII to start or consolidate a scientific career for young researchers in biomedicine, and will review the Health Research and Development Strategy and the current financial lines of the Institute. This topic is especially important for MIR (Internal Medical Residents) who are about to end their training as specialists, as it may be an excellent opportunity to combine a medical position with a scientific career in the National Health System. Registration. Oral Communication and Poster Registration is free and compulsory to attend the conferences. Any candidate to present a communication, both oral and poster, must be a predoctoral researcher or a first-year or second-year postdoctoral researcher. The oral communications will be included in one of the scientific programmes according to the author’s preferences. Each oral communication will last for a maximum of 12 minutes. The poster showcase will also be included in relation to the scientific programmes according to the author’s preferences. 2 Both oral and poster communications will be submitted in the registration web address at the end of the document, following the described indications. Given the positive experience of previous years, both oral and poster communications will be given in English. Those communications submitted after the deadline will not be accepted for evaluation. Registration and communication information will be accepted until 10th April. In the case of poster presentation, the size of the font must be big and clear enough to be read from a 2 m distance. The poster must be vertical and will be 150 cm high x 95 cm wide maximum size. Due to the limited number of oral and poster communications, the Scientific Committee of the Conferences will choose the best according to a series of criteria of scientific quality. Regarding poster communications, the Committee will choose 6 to opt for the Award to the best presentation in the Conferences. The 6 chosen presentations will give a short public presentation to the Scientific Committee the day of the Conferences, as well as the other selected. Awards In order to motivate and boost quality presentations, IMIBIC presents 4 awards of 600 € to the best oral presentations (one per session). One of these researchers will receive the best presentation award too. A special award of the same quantity to the best research work with a translational character, and another special award to the best research work presented by a Medical Resident*. Likewise, another two awards of 200 € will be given to the best poster communications. The Scientific Committee of the Conferences will decide on the awards. Cash prizes are personal and should be used for training and learning purposes. *You can find below the basis of the award to the best research work presented by a medical resident.
