3rd Oxford workshop on Monogenic inflammatory bowel disease – Clinical genomics from diagnosis to precision therapies

Fri 25 Oct 2024 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM

Tsuzuki Lecture Theatre, St Anne’s College, Oxford, OX2 6HS

Please register at: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/cpmoxford/1389600

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a multifactorial condition. In a small percentage of all patients, the disease can be explained by a monogenic background. NHS genomic testing is available for this group of patients and the aim is for their delineation to provide important insights for patients and their families as well as stimulating research into underlying mechanisms in IBD. Utilising clinical genomics successfully in IBD will help to personalise treatments which require multi-disciplinary care, specialist knowledge and the establishment of novel support networks.

This workshop will discuss how clinical genomics can inform clinical care for individuals with monogenic IBD. It is targeted at paediatric and adult gastroenterologists, trainees, nurse specialists and any other speciality interested in monogenic IBD.

  • Introduction: Prof Holm Uhlig and Prof Anneke Lucassen (University of Oxford)
  • Monogenic IBD- Clinical care pathways in the UK: Dr James Ashton (University of Southampton)
  • What is needed for decision making  Functional validation of genetic variants: Dr Kimberly Gilmour (GOSH)
  • Screening 33000 adults with inflammatory bowel disease: Dr Rofaida Desoki (University of Cambridge)
  • Application of artificial intelligence to diagnose monogenic inflammatory bowel disease in primary care: Dr Peter Fish (Mendelian)
  • Predictive genetics – concepts and ethics: Prof Anneke Lucassen (University of Oxford)
  • Emerging technologies in genomics: Prof Sarah Ennis (University of Southampton)
  • A therapeutic atlas for monogenic IBD: Dr Pei-Jui Ye (University of Oxford)

Case discussions and research projects

  • NFKB1 deficiency and intestinal inflammation: Dr Kelsey Jones (GOSH, London and Kennedy Institute, Oxford)
  • Hermansky Pudlak syndrome 2 and inflammatory bowel syndrome: Dr Jochen Kammermeier (University College London)
  • Cytokine biology –rare variants and fundamental biology: Dr Nima Gharahdaghi (University of Oxford)
  • Living with inflammatory bowel disease: The patient and family view Sarah Brown – CICRA

Intestinal Failure Networking Day

We are excited to announce that BPSGHAN and BAPEN are jointly hosting the Intestinal Failure Networking Day in Newcastle on Monday 4th November 2024.

We are delighted to be joined by an impressive line-up of speakers from different centres. The programme features a blend of practical management strategies and showcases current research into genomics and the gut microbiome in intestinal failure and the day will conclude with a joint session with BAPEN Medical, discussing topics of shared interest.

Registration Fee from £10.00 per member trainee including refreshments, lunch and VAT.

We also encourage trainees and others to submit their abstracts for oral or poster presentations. Deadline for submissions: 15th September 2024.
