Welcome to the DKTK Scientific Community Meeting 2025
Dear DKTK colleagues,
Thank you for your interest in attending the DKTK Scientific Community Meeting 2025. This meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to network and to take the next steps in advancing elements of the new strategic concept, such as implementing the newly proposed Ad-hoc working groups. Please note that the registration deadline is March 12, 2025.
In preparation for the meeting the DKTK community was invited to propose topics for Ad-hoc working groups.
Three parallel sessions will be organized during which colleagues interested in contributing to these working groups will meet in person, to discuss and develop the topics further and align them with the two newly defined pillars “Therapeutic Innovations”, and “Diagnostic Innovations & Molecular Prevention”.
We look forward to your participation and valuable contributions!
