Symposium 2026

Welcome to the symposium on personalized medicine of COPD 2026!

The German PerMed-COPD research platform hosts this year´s symposium Innovations for COPD Medicine - New Paradigms for Prevention and Treatment in Marburg. We will highlight the latest research on COPD and its pathophysiology, focusing on clinical, molecular, and digital approaches. In addition, we will shed light on the role of comorbidities as well as on environmental factors influencing the occurrence and the etiopathology of the disease. The symposium will reach out beyond academia, facilitating the exchange with patients and experts from outpatient clinics, hospitals, and industry.

We are looking forward to exciting presentations from renowned international scientists as well as to fruitful discussions, which will hopefully form a foundation for future research alliances.
