Join internationally leading researchers for a one-day symposium exploring the latest advances in precision diagnostics in paediatric infectious diseases and critical care – from pathogen and host biology to bioinformatics and real-world clinical implementation.

The symposium will address key questions shaping the future of precision diagnostics:

  • How can precision diagnostics improve the care of febrile and critically ill children?
  • How can we improve the early diagnosis of sepsis, infection and inflammation to enable more targeted and effective treatments?
  • How can innovations in omics technologies and artificial intelligence advance our understanding of disease and treatment responses?
  • How can novel biomarkers be effectively implemented in clinical practice?
  • How will precision diagnostics transform the field over the next decade?

 

The symposium marks the concluding scientific meeting of DIAMONDS, an EU Horizon 2020 project developing innovative diagnostic approaches for children with suspected infections, and is supported by Learn4Sepsis, a new initiative of University Medicine Zurich (UMZH).

 Registration is now open, Friday, 27 November 2026, with options to attend either on-site in Zurich or online:
