Day 3: The central role of laboratory medicine in the COVID-19 pandemic
"Never before has laboratory medicine been so much in the focus of public interest as during the Coronavirus crisis. Testing, testing, testing is demanded from all sides. This is why we are focusing on diagnostic and clinical aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic on November 18," explained Prof. Dr. Hoffmann.

The speeches on the third day of the forum (starting at 12:00 pm Central European time) will be chaired by Prof. Dr. med. Gunther Hartmann from the University of Bonn. The presentations will concentrate on COVID-19 diagnostics, mass screening of the population and the required quality control. New developments of technologies for COVID-19 testing as well as current possibilities for testing immunity against SARS CoV-2 will also be discussed. With a capacity of more than one million coronavirus tests per week (as of October 2020), Germany is considered a model country in this sector worldwide.
Furthermore, the role of laboratory medical diagnostics in monitoring COVID-19 infections and in estimating the occurrence of severe cases of the disease will be highlighted. Findings on genetic susceptibility to severe COVID-19 disease will also be addressed as well as models for predicting possible (local) overloading of the health care system.
Day 4: Young scientists and laboratory medicine specialists meet innovative industry
On the last day of the forum (November 19) young scientists and laboratory medicine specialists will report on their research projects on biobanking, liquid biopsy and other trends in laboratory medicine while diagnostic companies will present innovative test procedures for COVID-19. This day will be under the patronage of the German Society for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Diagnostics (DGKL, Young Laboratory Division) and the Association of Diagnostics Manufacturers (VDGH, Life Science Research Group).
