DIAMONDS Symposium «From Host Response to Clinical Impact»

Join internationally leading researchers for a one-day symposium exploring the latest advances in precision diagnostics across paediatric infectious disease and critical care – from pathogen and host biology to bioinformatics, and real-world clinical implementation.

How can precision diagnostics improve the care of febrile and critically ill children? How can we improve the early diagnosis of sepsis, infection, and inflammation to target more effective treatments? How can we use technological innovation in omics and AI to advance our understanding of disease and treatability? How can we effectively implement novel biomarkers in clinical practice? How will precision diagnostics transform the field in the next decade?

The symposium marks the concluding scientific meeting of DIAMONDS, an EU Horizon 2020 project developing innovative diagnostic approaches for children with suspected infection, and is supported by the new Learn4Sepsis initiative by University Medicine Zürich (UMZH).
