Dear Sir or Madam,
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, I cordially invite you to Lübeck, the Queen of the Hanseatic League, to attend the 19th European Meeting on Complement in Human Diseases (EMCHD2024) from September 2-6, 2024. The first day of the scientific program will comprise a Teaching Day designed to provide first insights into the composition and basic functions of the complement system to those new to the field. The Teaching Day will be paralleled by a Satellite Symposium at which distinguished lecturers from industry, basic science as well as clinicians will discuss the role of C3, C5 and their cleavage products as targets in inflammatory diseases. The Satellite Symposium is in line with the core EMCHD 2024 program focusing on recent developments in the complement field to translate basic scientific advancements into novel therapeutic approaches to combat human diseases.
The scientific program will be complemented by a social program aimed at giving you a taste of Lübeck, the Nordic beauty with impressive red brick historical monuments, alleys and courtyards in its Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Finally, I am delighted to invite you to a Hanseatic Gala Dinner in Travemünde, the famous seaside resort of Lübeck located at the Baltic Sea.
I am very much looking forward to welcoming you to Lübeck in 2024.
Professor Jörg Köhl
Chairman
Keynote Speaker
Lübeck is without question one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. The medieval city center - picturesquely situated on an island in the river Trave - was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. The narrow streets, the seven church towers, the old merchants' houses and the Hanseatic atmosphere make the old town a fascinating place.
