“We are very enthusiastic to see you all face-to-face at our SSIEM Symposium in Freiburg. Our congress thrives on building and strengthening networks, it lives from the discussions and the exchange of experiences from all over the world.”

“Therefore, the SSIEM team focusses on an in-person congress with personal participation in Freiburg, Germany. Of course we are in permanent contact with national and international authorities and are monitoring the COVID-19 situation constantly.”

Main Topics

Environment meets Metabolism

How do environmental factors influence health and disease and how does the microbiome modify phenotypes in metabolic diseases?

Genetics meets Metabolism

We will explore lessons learned from metabolomic profiling in large population studies and how this knowledge can be extrapolated to understand rare metabolic diseases.

Epigenetics meets Genetics

New findings in gene regulation and epigenetic mechanisms with special focus on “diet and disease” will be discussed.

Technology meets Metabolism

Transcriptome sequencing, next-generation newborn screening and computational modelling of inborn errors of metabolism will be explored.

Ethics meets Genetics

The ethical aspects of new technologies with respect to the use of data, data management, genetic results and gene editing will be addressed.

Reality meets Genetics

In this session, we will open the stage to patients and patient organisations. How can we all work together to promote precision medicine and individualised treatments?
