Looking forward to some very interesting research papers on Prenatal Diagnosis and Therapy


The 21st International Conference on Prenatal Diagnosis and Therapy kicks in today at the beautiful city of San Diego, United States. The conference will run through July 12, 2017.

The conference will bring together eminent speakers, medical professionals and allied health professionals from around the globe. Under the excellent direction of co-chairs, Dr. Sylvie Langlois and Dr. Yair Blumenfeld, ISPD have developed an exciting program filled with a wide range of topics covering the entire multidisciplinary field of prenatal diagnosis and therapy, delivered by 40 invited world-class speakers in pre-congress courses, debates, and invited lectures, along with more than 200 podium and poster presentations selected from an extremely high number of high-quality contributed abstracts. 

On Sunday, July 9, 2017, the half day pre-conference courses will cover topics like Genomic technologies 101 for non-geneticists, Ethical challenges in prenatal genetic counseling: A case-based approach and Ultrasound to enhance genetic diagnoses.

After the opening ceremony on July 10, oral presentations, poster sessions, debates and late-breaking research topics will be discussed: from basic science and translational discoveries to clinical application in all areas of prenatal diagnosis and therapy: from reproductive and prenatal genetic screening, ultrasound and other advanced fetal imaging, fetal therapy, clinical implementation of new technologies, genetic counseling, patient and stakeholder perspectives, and ethics.

The detailed program can be viewed here.

The International Society on Prenatal Diagnosis (ISPD) has issued a special supplement of journal Prenatal Diagnosis compiling all the abstracts presented at the conference.
