Congratulations to the organisers and for the host prof. Béatrice COCHENER-LAMARD for a very successful 2024 congress. Year after year, the overall attendance is increasing. And broader range of countries are are represented notably with numerous delegates from the US 🇺🇸. This year the conference took place in magnificent Campus Pierre & Marie Curie Centre at the Sorbonne University. We were impressed by the growing amount of research into #acanthamoebakeratitis presented at the congress with impressive attendance despite beatiful sunny 🌞 weather in Paris: ➡ First, congratulations to Dr Katie Curro, from The Netherlands 🇳🇱 , for the Best Paper Reward “Diagnosing and monitoring the characteristics of Acanthamoeba keratitis using slit scanning and laser scanning in vivo confocal microscopy.  ➡ Prof. Paolo Rama from Italy 🇮🇹 , a phase III ODAK trial investigator, gave a great talk about “New Medical treatment for #acanthamoeba and #fungalkeratitis” at the "What’s New in Corneal Infection" symposium moderated by prof.

We shared a booth with our partner SIFI – Johan Druelle and Jelle Kleijn, a leading Italian ophthalmic healthcare company, raising awareness about the impact of #acanthamoebakeratitis well beyond the initial acute treatment phase, leaving patients with trauma for life. NO ONE FACING SUCH A MONSTROUS DISEASE SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND.

What an inspiring & joyful evening it was! An event like that is a reminder for our team at Avanzanite Bioscience of who we are and what are standing for. We are #grateful to all people that have made this event such a success! We were honoured by: ➡ Prof. Lutz Weber, Head of Paediatric Nephrology Clinic at the University Hospital in #Cologne ➡ Prof. Lars Pape, Head of Paediatric Nephrology Clinic and Transplants at the University Hospital in #Essen, welcoming all the guest and recognising profoundly the work Nephrokids are doing. We are particularly grateful to all of those that have given their items for #auction for free, some of which very very unique (and with high monetary value, priceless in some cases). And for courage to tell amazing story of the items in front of the audience. The auction itself raised more than 5000 EUR! Thanks to all the generous bidders! Finally, thanks for more than 60 hashtag #biotech executives, #investors, #rare disease advocates that came from – extraordinary 18 countries in Europe! – to be part of the event and recognise the work of Nephrokids (led by Michaela and Oliver Peer). You've made the atmosphere joyful and you were fiercely auctioneering. Each one of you had to pay to attend (as that wast the rule for all!) and directly helped raised the funds for nephrokids. And some of you have made generous private discreet donations, too.
