The 1st European Meeting of the Biomarker Network will be held as a Satellite Event just before EPC 2016 on August 31, 2016 in Mainz.

The goal is establishing of an European Biomarker Network for promoting the scientific communication and the exploration of new research fields regarding biomarkers in the context of demographic and population health studies.

Special attention will be given to the following topics

1. biomarkers of environmental burden
2. genetic markers for longevity and disability
3. cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic syndrome, dementia and other chronic diseases
4. markers of epigenetic effects
5. micro biome and nutrition
6. new measurements and methods

Submissions on other biomarkers will also be considered. In any case, however, a relation to demographic research has to be demonstrated.

Abstracts of papers are invited for oral presentation.
The abstract should clarify the material to be presented: the topic, the data, the methods, the results.

Abstracts should not exceed 300 words, and should be sent to the address

Eurobiomarker@bib.bund.de

The deadline for submitting abstracts is May 15th 2016.
Successful candidates will be notified until June 15th 2016.

Please join us for the opportunity to listen to recent updates on research, share ideas and new findings with colleagues, and network with experts to advance biomarker discovery and development.
