Location:

San Diego, CA

Further information:

The ATS International Conference is the home of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep professionals, from those in the earliest stages of their careers to those whose research or strides in clinical care has gained them international recognition. Each year, nearly 14,000 of these professionals choose to attend, present, and learn about the latest advances, meet with colleagues from around the world, and strike new collaborations. It is truly where today’s science meets tomorrow’s care.

The International Conference is also multidisciplinary. Clinicians and researchers in many other fields attend the conference, thereby enriching conversations that lead to insights that ultimately improve patient care. Among the many other specialties represented in sessions at the International Conference are:

• Allergy/Immunology
• Behavioral Science
• Cardiology
• Environmental and Occupational Health
• Infectious Disease
• Pediatric Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep

Equally important, the ATS International Conference gathers the entire health care team in one place to share ideas across these medical and scientific disciplines. It is the ideal place for registered nurses, advanced practice nurses, respiratory therapists, and hospitalists to discuss their experiences, challenges, and research so that all can learn about the latest advances in understanding pulmonary disease, critical illness, and sleep disorders.

And of course, the International Conference is truly international: 40 percent of attendees arrive from laboratories and patient care centers beyond the United States.

Join your colleagues, and be the first to know.

Pulsus Group invites participants from across the World to attend “2nd World Congress on COPD, Asthma and Lung Health“, on October 09-10, 2019 in Madrid Spain.  

Pulsus Group performs 1000+ Global events annually, is delighted to welcome all the interested and enthusiastic participants across the globe to the prestigious Conference on “2nd World Congress on COPD, Asthma and Lung Health” during October 07-08, 2019 at Madrid, Spain. COPD 2019 highlights the theme “Frontiers in Lung Health Research”. 

Pulmonologists face a wide variety of challenges: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an umbrella term used to describe progressive lung diseases including Asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and some forms of bronchiectasis. The lack of a comprehensive information about the disease people with COPD typically ranges from 40% to 70%, depends on disease severity, while the 2-year mortality rate for people with severe COPD is about 50%. Survival rates for people with severe COPD are, in fact, worse than those for people with many common cancers. The COPD Foundation was established to undertake initiatives that result in expanded services for COPD and to improve the lives of individuals affected by COPD. The Foundation’s activities focus on achieving these results through research, education and advocacy programs that will lead to prevention and a cure for this disease.

The MSGERC biennial meeting “Clinical Mycology Today” takes place every 2 years (even years).  Experts from around the globe who specialize in fungus and mycoses gather for 3 full days of plenary talks that fall into 4 broad categories: candidiasis, invasive aspergillosis, endemic mycoses, and cryptococcosis.  These sessions are followed by panel and audience interactive discussions.  

Together, they champion evidence-bases diagnoses, prevention, treatment and management of invasive fungal infections through their mission of Education, Research, Scholarship and Advocacy.  The next biennial meeting will be held in the autumn of 2020.  Check back soon for more information.

Fungal Infections 2019 welcomes attendees, presenters, and exhibitors from all over the world to Madrid, Spain. We are delighted to invite you all to attend and register for the “6thInternational Conference on Mycology and Fungal Infections” which is going to be held during October 07-08, 2019 Madrid, Spain.

Fungal Infections 2019 has been designed in an interdisciplinary manner with a multitude of tracks to choose from every segment and provides you with a unique opportunity to meet up with peers from both industry and academia and establish a scientific network between them. We cordially invite all concerned people to come join us at our event and make it successful by your participation.

At PULSUS Group, It is our ideology to bring maximum exposure to our attendees, so we make sure the event is a blend which covers professionals such as Microbiologists, Mycologists, Cell Biologists, Bacteriologists, Biotechnologists, Researchers from academia & industry making the Fungal Infections conference a perfect platform.

The conference will be organized around the Theme ‘Impact of Mycology and Fungal Infections in addressing ultimate global health challenges’. Our goal is to deliver an outstanding program which covers the entire spectrum of Research & Innovations and Impact in Mycology and Fungal Infections and share the cross-cultural experiences of various treatment procedures.

Fungal Infections 2019 is an annual meeting of Mycology and Fungal Infections as well as committees to discuss the future of the antibiotics, vaccines, prevention of infection in terms of collaboration, structures and organizational development.

Most industrial processes used fungal cells for the bulk manufacturing of organic acids, proteins, enzymes, secondary metabolites and active pharmaceutical ingredients in white and red biotechnology. A number of challenges now need to be addressed to improve our strategies to control fungal pathogenicity and to optimise the use of fungi as sources for novel compounds. In addition to the multiple reaction sequences of fermentations, fungi are extremely useful in carrying out biotransformation processes. Molecular manipulations have been added to mutational techniques as a means of increasing yields of microbial processes and in the discovery of new drugs.
