Dear PBC investigators,
We are delighted to announce the celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Global PBC Study Group with the international symposium:
“Fast Forward to the Future of PBC:
a Global Perspective”.
Founded in 2012, the Global PBC Study Group is an international non‐profit collaboration between medical centers conducting research in PBC. This meeting not only aims to provide a comprehensive update on etiology, clinical aspects and treatment of primary biliary cholangitis, but also to focus on multicenter prospective cohorts and the future clinical research agenda.
We expect around 150 participants (with a special interest in the disease), including: clinician scientists, clinical researchers, and basic researchers. In addition, we have invited representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, patient organizations, non‐profit organizations, and regulators.
Registration is free and includes our Anniversary Dinner (21st April).
We look forward to welcoming you to Rotterdam!
