General Information

In this 3rd edition of the Basic and Translational Research the aim is to focus on basic and translational research in relation to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The aim of the meeting is:
(1) to discuss changes in clinical management based on - mostly non-peer-reviewed – clinical research and to discuss its implications
(2) to assess and critically review the current knowledge on Covid19 in paediatric patients, specifically focusing on children with chronic disease such as IBD
(3) to learn how to identify scientific questions, how to choose the appropriate methods and how to execute the project using Covid-19 as an example

Based on this thematic, we aim to provide a platform for motivated individuals to meet, connect and receive guidance from an experienced international faculty.
The course language is English.
