From 9:30, the final three Oral Communication sessions of ECE 2013 will take place with the focus on adrenal, reproduction, and diabetes & obesity in Auditoriums 10/11, 12 and 15 respectively. After coffee, several ‘Meet the Expert’ sessions will take place in the run up to lunch, where attention will switch to the European Society of Endocrinology AGM (Auditorium 12 between 12:15 and 13:00).
There will be one more chance to attend the Poster Presentations (Poster Hall) at 13:00 and this will be followed by the afternoon’s Parallel Symposia, running from 14:00 to 17:20. Auditorium 12 will play host to the ‘improving diagnosis of primary aldosteronism’ symposium, whilst ‘endocrine disruptors’ forms the focus of discussion next door in Auditorium 10/11 in a session which is being supported this year by Endocrine Connections.
Obesity, metabolism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, rare metabolic bone disease and autoimmune endocrine disease form the focus of the late afternoon discussions, with the European Young Endocrine Scientists (EYES) Symposium on ‘Novel technologies and inspiring ideas’ (taking place in the Main hall) of particular note.
Tuesday evening sees the sixth - and perhaps the draw of this years’ Congress - Plenary Lecture from Professor Ciechanover, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2004. Professor Ciechanover, together with Drs Avram Hershko and Irwin Rose, was awarded his Nobel for ‘the discovery of ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation’, and his lecture ‘Intracellular Proteolysis and the Ubiquitin System – From the Backyard to the Forefront of BioMedicine' promises to be the highlight of this penultimate day of the Congress.
Closing the day’s proceedings is the Endocrine Nurses’ Network Meeting, taking place in Meeting Room 18.
