Program Outline

Day 1: Pre-eclampsia research

A maternal inflammatory response is characteristic for the maternal preeclampsia syndrome. During such a response inflammatory and angiogenic factors play crucial roles in the onset of and also sustaining the syndrome. The relation between these factors is subject for many studies world wide to improve the prognosis of preeclampsia and with a better prognosis the morbility and mortality of the syndrome should be improved.  Session Chair:  Mr Joost Schuitemaker,Managing Director, IQ Products, The Netherlands

Day 2: Pre-eclampsia treatment and management   Session Chair: To be confirmed

Day 3: Technologies to assess pregnancy and pregnancy-associated conditions.  Session Chair:  Professor Ray Iles, Chief Scientist, The ELK-Foundation for Health Research and MAP Diagnostics, UK
