Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the XV International Congress of Pediatric Laboratory Medicine (ICPLM) and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine Committee of Emerging Technologies in Pediatric Laboratory Medicine (C-ETPLM) we invite you to the re-scheduled Congress due to the Covid-19 pandemic to be held in Munich, Germany on 26th – 28th November 2021.

The Congress theme will focus on the Emerging Technologies in all areas of pediatric clinical and diagnostic laboratory medicine and we are certain that all participants will be enthused by the program. Taking place immediately before the EuroMedLab 2021 – XXIV IFCC-EFLM European Congress of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, the congress offers you the unique opportunity to gather the latest information in laboratory medicine with a special focus on children. The scientific program will cover a wide range of topics and includes sessions on emerging technologies in paediatrics, mass spectrometry, applications of NGS, hematology, data mining approaches to clinical values, AI/machine learning and the response to the Covid-19 pandemic in paediatrics.

We would also like to encourage you to submit your latest scientific research results to be presented in scientific oral and poster sessions. The program offer the opportunity to interact and network with a wide variety of professionals including laboratory physicians, scientists and technologists, as well as practicing clinicians in pediatrics, neonatology, infectious disease and family medicine.
Please save these dates in your calendar – we look forward to hosting you in Munich in November 2021.
